A DNA sequence of interest was digested and ligated into the middle of the AmpR gene region of pBR322 vector. The vector also co

ntains a TetR gene which is not interrupted. After introducing the recombinat DNA into bacterial cells, the resulting transformants were tested on a variety of media. Which of the following results would be expected?
A) no growth on either ampicillin or tetracycline containing mediaB) growth on ampicillin but not tetracycline containing mediaC) growth on tetracycline but not ampicillin containing mediaD) growth only on media containing both antibioticsE) growth on both ampicillin containing media and tetracycline containing media

Answer:

B

Explanation:

We know that the AmpR gene region has been interrupted. So this means the AmpR gene will not function in the recombinant DNA.

But the question tells us that the TetR gene is not interrupted, so the TetR gene will still function.

AmpR represses the protein that confers resistance to ampicillin, and AmpR is no longer functional, <u>so the new bacterial cells will be resistant to ampicillin.</u>

TetR represses the protein that causes resistance to tetracyline, and TetR is still functional, <u>so the new bacterial cells will not be resistant to tetracycline. </u>

This means B, there will be <u>growth on ampicillin but not tetracycline containing media.</u>

Hermaphrodite, cellular respiration, invertebrate, medusae, metamorphosis, bilateral symmetry, coelomate, acoelomate1. an animal
givi [52]

Answer:

1. an animal without a body cavity acoelomate

2. condition in which the left side of an organism's body is a mirror image of the right side bilateral symmetry

3. a series of chemical reactions that break down sugars and produce energy cellular respiration

4. an animal with a fluid-filled body cavity that lies within the mesoderm coelomate

5. an animal that has both male and female reproductive organs Hermaphrodite

6. an animal without a backbone invertebrate

7. free-floating aquatic animals with a structure similar to a jellyfish medusae

8. the transformation of a larva to an adult; occurs only in animals having great differences in form between the larva and adult metamorphosis

Explanation:

Body cavity is a fluid-filled space inside a multicellular organism  with the protective role. The coelom is the main body cavity, found in allmost all animals. Those that don't have coelom are called acoelomata. An example are Platyhelminthes.

Symmetry refers to the proportion of an animal: its reflection, rotation or scaling. The body symmetry of animals might be radial, bilateral, spherical or asymmetric.

Two major group of animals are Vertebrate and Invertebrate, with or without with backbone.

Hermaphrodite organisms are those that contain both, male and female reproductive organs, characteristic for invertebrates.
