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>

How do the structures in an organism relate to their functions?
finlep [7]

The study of the relationship between structures and functions is at the very heart of biology. This relationship is expressed in living beings by the adaptation of the first to the second and poses a series of absolutely fundamental problems, such as the relationship between causality and finality, analogy and homology, structural improvement and evolutionary level, etc.

For example, the structure of the hand is related to its function, thanks to the fingers and the thumb it is easy to wear and store objects.

The zigzag structure of the intestine is related to its absorption function, as this makes it possible to increase the contact surface between the alimentary bolus and the intestinal wall, and thus to increase the absorption.
