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.

Nikitich [7]

Explanation:

Earth's Orbit = 2*pi*R = 942,000,000 kilometers.

Distance/Time = 942,000,000 km / 8766 hr = 107,000 km/hr = 30 km/sec.

Discuss the order in which seed dispersal mechanisms could have evolved
sladkih [1.3K]

The fossil records of primitive plants show a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms that has been adopted by plants at various stages and how they have evolved. The most primitive of this seed dispersal mechanism is the Anemochory

Anemochory is the dispersal of seed through the wind. The seeds have wing like structures and are lightweight to be able to fly away with the wind. They are dull colored and are pale that will prevent the seed from being visible.

Hydrochory is the next order of evolution of the seed dispersal mechanism which became majorly adopted by plants that tend to grow near water sources and those whose seeds are too heavy to fly in the air. One of the best examples is the coconut that falls off on the sea water in the coastal areas and floats to other lands and sprouts to a new plant.

Barochory is the dispersal of the seed through gravity. This is the mechanism where the fruit falls off to the ground due to gravity and grows into a new plant.

Endozochory is the dispersal of the seed through animals. In this case the seed is usually covered with a fleshy edible part which is consumed by the animals and in this process the seed goes into the digestive system of the animal and is excreted in a different place from where the seed can sprout into a new plant.

Ballochory is the dispersal of the seed due to the forceful ejection of the seed by explosive dehiscence of the seed. This lets the plant to place its seeds in a distant area. One of the best examples is the Hura Crepitans which is also called the dynamite tree, named after its exploding fruits.
