2. Think carefully, and explain what the expected results for the plates below tells you about how the experiment is supposed to work.
a. LB+ (with DNA) and LB- (without DNA) plates
The results showed on the plates that now LB+ (with DNA) growth of bacterial colonies. The DNA in the medium allows the bacteria to take up the DNA and express any genes or traits. LB- agar medium (without DNA) shows the plate is the absence bacteria to take up any foreign genes or traits, and no growth to occur.
b. LB/Amp+ and LB+ plates
The results showed on the plates LB/Amp+
