Bacteria containing plasmid vectors are often identified by which process?
a) producing antibodies specific for bacteria that contain plasmids.
b) exposing the bacteria to an antibiotic that kills cells lacking the plasmid
c) using radioactive probes to locate the plasmids
d) removing the dna of all cells in a culture to see which cells have plasmids
e) microscopic examination of the cells

Option B, exposing the bacteria to an antibiotic that kills cells lacking the plasmid

Explanation:

Bacteria that have plasmid are selected from the ones that do not plasmid by placing them on antibiotics plates. As the bacteria that have plasmid within it will possess an antibiotic resistant gene due to which they are able to survive on the antibiotics plate and form colonies. While the bacteria that do not have plasmid die. These colonies of plasmid bacteria’s are grown to make large cultures from which plasmid protein is derived.  

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
