1. Write if the statement is true and modify the statement with the correct answer if its false a.White colonies represent those bacteria that do not express the genes for beta-galactosidase because restriction enzymes have cut the gene and ligase have not repaired the break b.Antibiotic resistance genes in bacterial transformation are used as marker genes because of ease of detection of transformants. c. Bacterial transformation simply means the insertion of a recombinant plasmid into a bacterial cell.
4. Bacterial transformation and bacteriophage labelingexperiments proved that DNA was the hereditary material in bacteria and in DNA-containing viruses.Some viruses do not contain DNA but have RNA inside the phage particle. An example is the tobaccomosaic virus (TMV) that infects tobacco plants, causing lesions in the leaves.Two different variants of TMV exist that havedifferent forms of a particular protein in the virus particle that can be distinguished. It is possible to reconstitute TMV in vitro (in the test tube) by mixing purifiedproteins and RNA. The reconstituted virus can then beused to infect the host plant cells and produce a newgeneration of viruses. Design an experiment to showthat RNA, rather than protein, acts as the hereditarymaterial in TMV.
