You are working with a plasmid the has a copy number of 3. What are the chances that one of the daughter cells (either one) will be cured of this plasmid (that is, will not have any plasmid in it?). Provide your answer as THE DENOMINATOR of the fraction such as "200" if the answer is 1/200, or "4" if the answer is 1/4.

Answer #1

Plasmids are extrachromosomal nucleic acid molecules carried by bacteria that replicate independently of the main bacterial chromosome.

Here the chances will be 1/3.

    The starting concentration of the plasmid DNA is 100 ngul and you added 2μ1 to your cells. The cells were diluted to one ml prior to plating. First, determine how many transformants you would have if you plated the entire 1 ml of cell:s. Remember, you only plated half or your transformation reaction on plates 1 and 2. Add the number of transformants on plates 1 and 2, and then multiply by 2 for the total number transformants. Record that...

    You insert a gene for tetracycline resistance into one plasmid and a gene for ampicillin resistance into another plasmid. You successfully introduce both plasmids into a sample of E. coli cells, but fail to grow any of them in culture medium with both antibiotics present in it. What could best explain the problem? A. Random mutation has inactivated the antibiotic resistance genes B. Plasmid incompatibility will not allow both plasmids to persist C. E. coli cannot maintain two plasmids D....

Aside from being smaller, how is it different from the prokaryotic genome? You place equal amounts of plasmid DNA in 4 different tubes and incubate the DNA with increasing amounts of the enzyme topoisomerase I for 1 hour (0 enzyme units 0.25 enzyme units, 0.5 enzyme units and 1 enzyme unit). You then analyze the plasmid...

    Pseudomonas has a plasmid containing the mer operon, which includes a gene for mercuric reductase. The enzyme catalyzes the reduction of the mercuric ion Hg2+ to the uncharged form of mercury, Hg0 Hg2+ is quite toxic to cells, Hg0is not. 1. What condition would induce this operon to be transcribed and the transcript to be translated into the proteins including mercuric reductase? 2. The protein encoded by the mer operon binds to Hg2+ outside the cell and brings it into...
