Study the diagram given below that shows the steps involved in the procedure of selecting transformed bacteria and answer the questions that follow :
(a)Identify the colony that has got transformed. Justify your answer.(b)What are the sites in a plasmid called where ampicillin and tetracycline resistance genes are inserted ? State their role in genetic engineering.Name two enzymes playing an important role in genetic engineering.State the role of $\displaystyle \beta$-galactosidase in insertional inactivation.
Study the diagram given below that shows the steps involved in the procedure of selecting transformed bacteria and answer the questions that follow :
(a)
Identify the colony that has got transformed. Justify your answer.
(b)
What are the sites in a plasmid called where ampicillin and tetracycline resistance genes are inserted ? State their role in genetic engineering.
Name two enzymes playing an important role in genetic engineering.
State the role of $\displaystyle \beta$-galactosidase in insertional inactivation.
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
Colony $\displaystyle 4$ is transformed with plasmid containing recombinant DNA, as they will not show
resistance towards tetracycline.
(b)
[Official scheme awards full credit for this part; no model answer is printed.]
Restriction endonuclease / ligase / Taq DNA Polymerase
Insertional inactivation of gene encoding for ß- galactosidase will lead to colorless
bacterial colonies (recombinant)
