A foreign gene is inserted in pBR322 using the restriction endonuclease EcoRI. Which of these is true about theE. colihaving this pBR322?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The restriction site forEcoRI in pBR322 is not present within the ampicillin-resistant gene or within the tetracycline-resistant gene. Thus, when the foreign DNA is added, there will not be insertional activation of any of these genes and the bacterium will be resistant to both antibiotics.
