Plasmid pBR322 has Pstl restriction enzyme site within gene that confers ampicillin resistance. If this enzyme is used for inserting a gene for galactoside production and the recombinant plasmid is inserted in an E.coli strain
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
It will not be able to confer ampicillin resistance to the host cell
Option C is correct. Insertion of the gene for -galactosidase into the PstI site within the ampicillin resistance gene will disrupt the ampicillin resistance gene, making the host cell unable to confer ampicillin resistance.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Ampicillin and Tetracyclin
Option A is correct. BamHI cuts within the tetracycline resistance gene. Therefore, successful insertion of a foreign gene at this site will disrupt tetracycline resistance, leaving the transformed colony resistant to ampicillin (due to the intact ampicillin resistance gene) but sensitive to tetracycline.
