Question

Screening the fragments for a 'desired gene'.Explain.

Open in App

Solution

The term "Screening the fragments of desired gene" means that we need to selected a gene of our desire which has all the characters needed for the experiment. From the genes isolated, we need to screen them according to our needs.

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.
