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.

zepelin [54]
<span>Point mutations are of two types: Substitutions of bases that are the change of one base of DNA by another. And Transitions that are replaced on a pyrrhic basis by another pyrrhic or a pyrimidine by another pyrimidine. Transversions: substitution of a pyrrhic base by another pyrimidine or vice versa. These mutations are negative because they affect only one of the nucleotides, and therefore, only one triplet of bases are affected. When the mutation does not affect the individual it is a silent mutation. Chromosomal mutations Changes in the structure of the diploid chromosomes, where one of the chromosomes has a mutation, will have another normal. They can hinder the process of meiosis in the carrier since it hinders the correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes. It would produce an unfeasible offspring or with mutations.</span>

Why might it be more difficult to prepare a vaccine against noroviruses than against rotaviruses?
White raven [17]

Designing efficacious norovirus vaccines remains a major challenge due to several factors:

(1) the extreme genetic variability within the norovirus family and within genogroups

(2) the rapid evolution of antigenically dissimilar pandemic GII.4 norovirus strains

(3) the lack of lasting immunity upon natural exposure to noroviruses in at least a proportion of the population.
