Question
If conjugation has occurred between the provided E. coli strains I and II, what
might we expect to see in the resulting bacteria (i.e., the recombinant)? Select
ALL that are feasible.
Hint: Consider the possibility that extrachromosomal genes (i.e., on the plasmid)
have been transferred or genes originally present on the bacterial chromosome
(indeed possible!) have been transferred.
A. Recombinant bacteria that are resistant to Amp and Str
B. Recombinant bacteria that are resistant to Amp and Nal
C. Recombinant bacteria that are resistant to Nal and Str
D. Recombinant bacteria that are resistant to Str only
E. Recombinant bacteria that are resistant to Nal only
My answer is only A.
Is my answer is correct?
