1. When you are doing a transformation experiment (cloning DNA), a. how can you determine if the bacteria have picked up your vector (plasmid) DNA? b. how can you determine if you have inserted any DNA into your vector (plasmid) DNA? c. how can you determine which clone contains the DNA of interest to you?

Step 1
Recombinant bacteria that have taken up the DNA of interest will grow in the presence of the specific antibiotic, while non-recombinant bacteria will not grow. ** Show more…

When cloning genes using pUC19 vector: What two properties do you know about the bacteria in blue colonies on a plate containing Xgal? Why does a vector have an MCR site in order to be useful? Why does a plasmid vector have to have one?
Adi S.
From the list below, select the sequence of steps for cloning a piece of foreign DNA into a plasmid vector, introducing the plasmid into bacteria, and verifying that the plasmid and the insert are present: (1) Transform competent cells (2) Select for the lack of antibiotic resistance gene #1 function (3) Select for the plasmid antibiotic resistance gene #2 function (4) Digest vector and foreign DNA with EcoR1, which inactivates antibiotic resistance gene #1 (5) Ligate the digested DNA together with the foreign DNA $a.$ 45132 $b.$ 45123 $c.$ 13425 $d. $32145 $e.$ 13254
