Solutions

Galactosidase is an enzyme that converts the galactose into lactose. This property makes this enzyme to be used as a selectable marker or reporter gene in molecular biology experiments. This property is exploited during the selection of recombinants from the non-recombinants.

Verify mobile number to view the solution

Solutions

pBR322 carries recognition sites for a number of commonly used restriction enzymes. Recognition site for BamHl is present in the tetr region i.e., the region responsible for tetracycline resistance. When an insert is added at the BamHl recognition site the gene for tetracycline resistance becomes non-functional and the recombinant bacteria with plasmid pBR322 that has DNA inserted at BamHl lose tetracycline resistance.

Solutions

It is essential to have few cloning sites in the cloning vector. It is because, in order to link the alien DNA, the vector needs to have very few recognition sites for the commonly used restriction enzymes. Presence of more than one recognition sites within the vector will generate several fragments, which will complicate the gene cloning. Also, the vector requires a selectable marker, which helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants.
