Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacterial cells by disrupting the formation of cell walls. However, the pARA-R plasmid ha

s the ampicillin resistance gene, which produces a protein that breaks down ampicillin. What is the purpose of growing bacteria that have been transformed in the presence of ampicillin

Answer: To eliminate bacteria that failed to take in the plasmid.

Explanation:

Research shows that plasmid DNA is only taken in by small percentage of bacteria in a large population.

Therefore, the need of growing transformed bacteria in the presence of ampicillin is very important. The main reason of this process is to kill off or eliminate bacteria that have failed to take in the plasmid, due to their possession of recombinant DNA plasmid pARA-R (an ampicillin resistance gene), that allows them to survive.

However, after completion of the aforementioned procedure, the bacteria that have been transformed will be able to take in the plasmid.

Answer:

This is to ensure  survival of desired bacterial cells.

Explanation:

The  growing of  transformed bacteria with ampicillin-resistant gene, ( in presence of ampicillin ) is for the ampicillin to disrupts the the process of synthesising protein  which inhibit its chemotherapeutic actions, therefore  promoting the survival of transformed  bacteria.

However, bacteria which are  without  plasmid,   which are not transformed,without the  ampicillin resistance gene, (since the action of ampicillin is not block,) will not be able to grow in the ampicillin medium,  and therefore  will be  killed.Thus aiding the survival of transformed bacteria only.

Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.
mojhsa [17]
The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean<span> transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.</span>

Which level of biodiversity includes species richness and evenness?
Novay_Z [31]
The answer is:

Community Diversity.

Reason Why: Here is an example, say you have 2 communities, community 1 is A, and community 2 is B, Communities A and B contain 5 tree species, However because community B has greater species evenness it has greater species diversity.
Community A is dominated by one of its 5 species and so has lower species diversity than.....community B, which has the same 5 species but in equal proportion.

Richness- Number of Species
Evenness-Relative abundance.
