Biotechnology: Principles and Processes

Plasmid pBR322 has a PstI restriction enzyme site within the gene amp^R that confers ampicillin resistance. If this enzyme is used for inserting a gene for β\beta-galactoside production and the recombinant plasmid is inserted in an E. coli strain:

  1. A.It will not be able to confer ampicillin resistance to the host cell✓
  2. B.The transformed cells will have the ability to resist ampicillin as well as produce β\beta-galactoside
  3. C.It will lead to lysis of the host cell
  4. D.It will be able to produce a novel protein with dual ability

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
