Question 1 A scientist constructs a recombinant bacterial plasmid that contains a gene conferring resistance to the antibiotic tetracycline (tet). The scientist transforms cultures of E. col bacteria with the recombinant plasmid, then incubates the cultures overnight on plates containing media without tetracycline (tet-) and with tetracycline (tet+). Assuming the transformation protocol was successful, which of the following best predicts the bacterial growth pattern expected after the incubation period?

Question 1
A scientist constructs a recombinant bacterial plasmid that contains a gene conferring resistance
to the antibiotic tetracycline (tet). The scientist transforms cultures of E. coli bacteria with the
recombinant plasmid, then incubates the cultures overnight on plates containing media without
tetracycline (tet-) and with tetracycline (tet+.
Assuming the transformation protocol was successful, which of the following best predicts the
bacterial growth pattern expected after the incubation period?
No bacterial growth
Some bacterial growth
High bacterial growth
