what is the method used to identify your transformed cells from the plasmid vector?..

Answer / kk pandey

I)If transformant is thought to have antibiotic resistant
gene (called as Marker Gene)along with ur desired gene, then
culture those cells in a media containing that same
antibiotic.
==>Case 1:- the cell is not transformed.:-
the cell will not have the antibiotic resistant gene, hence
it wont grow (or simply die)bcoz of antibiotic in the media.
==>Case 2:-the cell is successfully transformed.:-
The cell will easily grow in media bcoz antibiotic wont
affect it as cell will resist it.(bcoz of marker gene).
-----*----
My answer is quite long but i think i will properly make u
understand.

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
