Solution

The correct option is B Tetracycline
If the gene of interest was inserted at Sal I site in pBR322, the resulting plasmid will confer resistance to tetracycline.
So, the correct answer is 'tetracycline'.

Q. In pBR 322, a gene is inserted using the Pvu I restriction enzyme site, which makes the ampicillin-resistant gene non-functional. However, the recombinant is resistant to tetracycline. This means

Q. The gene of interest (GOI) is inserted at the
BamH I site in pBR322. The resulting plasmid is introduced into bacteria. The bacteria will have resistance against which of the following antibiotics?

Q. Plasmid pBR322 has Pst I restriction enzyme site within gene amp^Rthat confers ampicillin resistance. If this enzyme is used for inserting a gene for ß-galactoside production and the recombinant plasmid is inserted in an E. coli strain

Q. This is figure of plasmid pBR 322. The gene conferring resistance to ampicillin (ApR) can be interrupted by insertion of a DNA fragment into the Pstl site, and the gene conferring resistance to tetracycline (TcR) can be interrupted by insertion of a DNA fragment into the BamHI site. Replication is controlled by the CoIEl origin. Use of the TcR and ApR genes allows for easy screening for recombinants carrying inserts of foreign DNA. For locating Eco RI, TcR and ApR gene on it. Identify, what is represented by A, B and C.
