A plasmid that encodes resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline is digested with the restriction enzyme PstI, which cuts the pl

asmid at a single site in the ampicillin-resistance gene. The DNA is then annealed with a PstI digest of human DNA, ligated, and used to transform E. coli cells. (a) What antibiotic would you put in an agar plate to ensure that the cells of a bacterial colony contain the plasmid

Answer:

tetracycline

Explanation:

When the DNA insert is ligated in Pstl site, the ampicillin gene is disrupted while <em>tetracycline gene is still intact</em>.

- If the bacterial colony is growth in a medium with only ampicillin, only the cells that contains the plasmid with the insert will grow.

- If the bacterial colony is growth in a medium with only tetracycline, the cells which have incorporated the plasmid will survive. We cannot distinguish between cells with plasmid + insert and plasmid alone.

- If the bacterial colony is growth in a plate with ampicillin + tetracyclin, only the cells with the plasmid without the insert will grow.

Therefore, to ensure that the cells of a bacterial colony contains the plasmid, they have to be seeded in a plate with tetracycline.

What results from the addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number except a multiple of 3?
eimsori [14]
Addition or deletion of nucleotides in any number besides 3 results in a "frame-shift mutation."
This is because every 3 nucleotides of DNA/mRNA exons codes for a single amino acid in the synthesis of a protein. This triplet codon theory means that if 3 nucleotides are added or deleted then an amino acid will be added or lost, but subsequent codons and amino acids will still be read correctly.
However, if any number of nucleotides other than 3 are added or removed, then the codons following the mutation will be out of "sync," in terms of the reading order.
Hence it is called a frame-shift mutation because it shift the reading frame when translating nucleic acids into proteins. Frame shifts will lead to the wrong amino acids being adding in the wrong order for the rest of the code after the mutation.

In winter many dogs grow a thick coat of fur. This is an example of
vesna_86 [32]
The answer is letter A. 

Dogs grow a thick coat fur during winter because they are adapting to change. Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life.

Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this is the thick coat of fur that dogs naturally grow to protect themselves from the change of the weather.
