    You have isolated a DNA fragment containing a human gene involved in lung cancer and are working inserting it into a standard plasmid vector used in molecular cloning which has a multiple cloning site in the lacZ gene. After cutting the DNA fragment and the vector with the same restriction enzyme and ligating the cut DNA, you transform bacteria with hopefully the recombinant vector. How do you expect to identify bacteria with the recombinant vector? A. Bacteria with the recombinant...

    Please answer these four questions. 6C. A type of plasmid used frequently as a vector in recombinant DNA procedures carries gene markers for resistance to tetracycline (Tet') and to ampicillin (Amp). In one experiment, such plasmids were exposed to a restriction enzyme that cuts within the Amp' gene but leaves the Tet' gene intact. Plasmids exposed to the enzyme were next mixed with genomic restriction fragments from a cloned library of mouse DNA. The aim was to produce and detect...
