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. What antibiotic-resistance phenotype(s) (characteristics) will be found on the plate

Answer: Tetracycline.

Explanation:

A plasmid is a small circular DNA molecule found in bacteria that is separate from the bacterial chromosome and replicates independently of it. They encode for certain genes that play a key role in antibiotic resistance. <u>Restriction enzymes are endonucleases that catalyze the cleavage of phosphodiester bonds in different regions located within a DNA strand</u>. PstI is an example of an endonuclease, it is a type II restriction enzyme produced by the microorganism <em>Providencia stuartii</em> that possesses a restriction target in double-stranded DNA dependent on an unmethylated, palindromic, asymmetric sequence, and in this example, it cuts the plasmid at a single site in the ampicillin-resistance gene. After that, the DNA is annealed with another fragment of DNA and this new recombinant molecule is used to transform <em>E. coli</em> cells. Transformation is a key step in DNA cloning because it occurs after restriction enzyme digestion and ligation treatments and transfers newly made plasmids into bacteria. <u>So these bacterias will have a new fragment of DNA, which still has a tetracycline resistance gene but it no longer has the ampicillin resistance gene because it was disrupted by the restiction enzyme</u>. Thereby, the antibiotic resistance phenotype is the tetracycline resistace.

What is the advantage of placing telescopes in space?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

B. Space telescopes are above the distortion of Earth's atmosphere, cloud and light pollution.

Explanation:

Telescopes are powerful optical instrument which have the ability of viewing distant objects such as stars and galaxies in space and hence affords us the ability to make findings and research without having to get so close. Adoption of space telescopes is preferred to those place on earth usually due to the effect of absorption and reflection which has would have impacted some electromagnetic spectrum before reaching the earth. Also, the distortion introduced into measurement taken due to the the Earth's atmospheric conditions such as clouds may blurr measurement obtainednis also a vital reason for the adoption of space telescope.
