If a recombinant DNA bearing gene for resistance to Ampicillin transferred into E.coli cells, host cells become transformed into Ampicillin resistant cells. What happens when these E.coli are grown on medium containing Ampicillin?
- A Non-transformants will grow and transformants will die
- B Non-transformants will die and transformant will grow
- C Both non-transformants and transformant will die
- D Both non-transformant and transformant will grow
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Non-transformants will die and transformant will grow
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) Non-transformants will die and transformant will grow,
Non-transformants who have not developed resistance against ampicillin will die in ampicillin medium wherease transformants who have developed resistance will survive.
Non-transformants who have not developed resistance against ampicillin will die in ampicillin medium wherease transformants who have developed resistance will survive.
