Chapter 20, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Recombinant DNA technology involves the production of the desired gene by combining the genetic material of two or more organisms. It is a wide application in the field of agriculture, where rDNA is introduced to the target plant cell with the help of vectors injected into suitable bacterial cells.

- Choose the one answer that fits best. The pGLO plasmid you used contains an araC gene, a GFP gene and a bla gene. If you performed the exact same experiment with a plasmid that contained a GFP gene and a bla gene, but was missing the araC gene, what would you expect to see on your four plates? a. The positive control would not have any bacterial lawn b. The negative control would have as many colonies as the experimental plate c. The LB/Amp/Ara plate would have some colonies but they would not be fluorescent under UV light d. The experimental plate would not have any colonies e. The LB/Amp plate containing E. coli (+)pGLO would be fluorescentarrow_forwardWhich of the following objects would you use microinjection in order to transfer DNA into? a.

- When E. coli cells are mixed with recombinant vector DNA and subject to a stress such as heat shock, a small fraction of the cells will take up the plasmid DNA, a process known as : A. Ligation. B. Transformation. C. Transfection. D. Digestion.arrow_forwardA graduate student isolates two new retroviruses: Virus A and Virus B. To determine whether these viruses could cause cancer, the student infected human cells with each of the viruses and then transfered the infected cells to nude mice to see if the viruses would cause formation of tumors. The student was able to determine by PCR that both viruses are integrated into the genome of the host cells before transplanting cell in mice. The data for this assay are shown in the figure below. Explain how the mechanism of transduction may be different for these two viruses to yield the observed data (limit 4-5 sentences).
