Which of the following is used as a reporter gene in recombinant DNA work with bacteria as host cells? a. rRNA b. Green fluorescent protein c. Antibiotic sensitivity d. Ability to make ornithine e. Vitamin synthesis
Reporter genes such as GFP, which produces green fluorescent protein in flashes when activated, allow for single-cell examination of gene expression, as opposed to the reporter gene lacZ, which shows the population's average response. What kinds of questions can be answered better using a population-level approach? a. Timing and coordination of gene activation under changing environmental conditions b. Movement of pathogens in host animals c. Activation of certain types of genes under changing environmental conditions d. Where specific proteins are located within cells

In a direct fluorescent antibody test, which of the following would we most likely be looking for using a fluorescently-labeled mAb? a. bacteria in a patient sample b. bacteria isolated from a patient and grown on agar plates c. antiserum from a patient smeared onto a glass slide d. antiserum from a patient that had bound to antigen-coated beads
