The diagram below shows that of a plasmid containing genes that confers erythromycin (Erm®) and ampicillin (Amp®) resistance to bacteria that expresses these genes. On the outer portion of the diagram are the labels of some of the different restriction sites available for the insertion of foreign DNA. Part Scal Erm" plas02 EcoRI Pu (4.361bp) EcoR V BamHI Amp Sall651 The DNA segment that codes for the protein insulin was inserted into the plasmid using the restriction site BamH I. Which of the following is true if bacteria were able to successfully incorporate a plasmid with the insulin gene insert? The bacteria will not have any resistance to ampicillin or erythromycin. O The bacteria will exhibit resistance to both ampicillin and erythromycin. The bacteria will exhibit resistance to ampicillin but not to erythromycin. O The bacteria will exhibit resistance to erythromycin but not to ampicillin. O The bacteria will randomly exhibit resistance to either ampicillin or erythromycin, but not to both.
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
