Answer:
B There will be blue colonies only
Explanation:
This screen in called the blue white screening. This is a rapid test that allows scientist to check for their insert of choice in the colonies at a glance. The concept is that where the insert is located the <em>lac Z </em>gene in the vector is interrupted and therefor Xgal, a reporter can be produced. Where there are blue colonies being formed the plasmid has self-ligated and the <em>lac Z</em> gene is not interrupted and the X-gal can be formed rendering a blue color.
The best answer should be
D) Food component that can be stored in the body for future energy needs
Atoms gain electrons to form anions.
Atoms lose electrons to form cations.
Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.
Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).
Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).
There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.
