What animals can cause the black death?

It is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which is normally carried by fleas. So technically every animal who has fleas can carry the above bacterium, and therefore any animal may be carrying the black death. However this bacterium left Europe in the 19th century.


Is a cloning vector a plasmid?

plasmid is the type of the cloning vector. other cloning vectors includes cosmids, bacteriophage, phagemids, artifiical chromosomes. clonong vectors are the carriers of certain traits to be inserted in non coding regions of the DNA.


If you place gene in reverse orientation how can it be detected?

Most genes contain restrictions sites. Once you've inserted your gene into the vector you use restrictions sites in the gene and the vector to cut the vector into smaller pieces. If the pieces correspond to the pattern you expect for a reverse orientated gene then you know it is in the reverse orientation.


What is an expression vector and what problem does it solve?

A cloning vector that contains a highlhy active prokaryotic promoter just upstream of a restriction site where the eurkaryotic gene can be inserted in the correct reading frame. Such expression vectors allow the synthesis of many eukaryotic proteins in bacterial cells.


How can you show a user where their value will go into a C Plus Plus array?

The following example shows one possibility. The user is asked to enter natural numbers (positive values 1, 2, 3, 4, etc). As each non-zero number is input, it is inserted into a global vector using an insertion sort algorithm which returns the index of the newly inserted value. The program then reports where the value was inserted before printing the vector. Entering the value 0 exits the program.#include#include#include#includeusing namespace std;size_t insert(const int value, vector& v){v.push_back( value );size_t gap = v.size() - 1;while( gap && value
