It is a gene which is present in vectors that code for an enzyme that cleaves ampicillin, which inhibits the ampicillin from preventing Save the growth of bacteria.

Why do the cells transformed with pUC18 and plasmid lux grow in the presence of ampicillin?

The pUC18 plasmid contains the ampicillin resistance gene (ampR) which confers resistance to ampicillin. The Lux operon on the plasmid allows for bioluminescence production and acts as a reporter gene. Therefore, transformed cells that harbor both plasmids can grow in the presence of ampicillin due to pUC18 and express bioluminescence due to the Lux operon.


What is ampr?

AMPR, or Amateur Radio Digital Communications, refers to the use of digital communication techniques by amateur radio operators. It encompasses a variety of digital modes and protocols, enabling operators to transmit data, images, and text over radio frequencies. AMPR can facilitate emergency communications and experimentation with radio technologies, and it often utilizes the AMPRNet, a network of IP addresses allocated for amateur radio use.


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.


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 the age of H and ampR 410 deluxe topper model 198?

The H and ampR 410 Deluxe Topper Model 198 was produced in the early 1970s, making it over 50 years old as of 2023. If you have a specific year in mind for its manufacture, that could slightly adjust its exact age. However, generally, it is considered a vintage model.

A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.
