What is the purpose of the ampicillin in the transformation procedure?
The ampicillin resistance gene (AmpR) is called a selectable marker gene and is incorporated into several plasmids that are commonly used in a wide range of genetic engineering and molecular biology experiments. The function of a selectable marker gene is to provide the host containing the plasmid a certain property that is not inherently present in the host. For example, the AmpR gene codes for a protein that makes cells containing this gene resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin. Therefore, when plasmids are successfully transfected into bacterilal cultures, one can assess which colonies have taken up the plasmid by looking at which ones survive onampicillin-containing media. Those that do not survive do not have the plasmid. The surviving colonies can then be picked up and carried on to the next stage of experimental research.
Which enzyme would cut the plasmid without disrupting the function of?
Perhaps you mean a restriction enzyme, but not disrupting the function of whatever is not too clear. I think if you cut a plasmid with any restriction enzyme I am familiar with the function of that plasmid would be disrupted.
What gene controls the expression of the D1x gene in vertebrates?
The HOX gene or the master gene of D1x
When one gene expresses itself over another the former gene is said to be the DNA?
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
What is Hypothetical gene?
A gene that hidden or mask to another gene expression.
