Answer:
The ecoregion stretches 2,000 km west-to-east, and 1,000 km north-to-south, across the Arctic Ocean north of Norway and Russia. It covers the island groups of Svalbard (Norway), Franz Josef Land (Russia), Severny Island (Russia), and Severnaya Zemlya (Russia).

Answer:
Sample 4.
Explanation:
Oxygen is very important for life, so this should be present.
Answer:
The plasmid must express a gene for ampicillin resistance (the protein product of the <em>bla</em> gene codes for beta-lactamase, the protein that breaks down ampicillin). The colonies on the ampicillin plate are antibiotic resistant. This means that they have taken up the transformed plasmids expressing both the <em>bla</em> gene and the GFP gene.
Explanation:
The transformation involved the genetic modification of a plasmid to incorporate the gene encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jelly fish. GFP makes cells glow under UV light.
In genetic engineering, scientists use antibiotic resistance as markers to indicate cells that have been transformed. By incorporating an antibiotic resistance gene such as <em>bla</em> into the vector (plasmid) and then growing the cells in antibiotic media, scientists determine which colonies have taken up the plasmid. Therefore, if the cells survive, this means that they contain the plasmid with antibiotic resistance gene as well as the GFP gene.
