Title: What purpose do the β-lactamase gene serve in the plasmid vector pUC18?
Post by: dnme94 on Jul 22, 2013
1)What purpose do the β-lactamase gene serve in the plasmid vector pUC18?

1.The product of this gene provides susceptibility to tetracycline.
2.The product of this gene provides resistance to ampicillin.
3.The product of this gene catalyzes the reaction that converts colourless X-gal into a blue pigment.
4. The product of this gene provides resistance to tetracycline.

2)What purpose do the lacZ gene serve in the plasmid vector pUC18?


a. The product of this gene provides resistance to tetracycline.
    b.The product of this gene catalyzes the reaction that converts colourless X-gal into a blue pigment.
   c. The product of this gene provides resistance to ampicillin.
   d. The product of this gene provides susceptibility to ampicillin.
