You want to select a bacterium that has obtained a genetic
marker conferring resistance to tetracycline. How would you
accomplish this?
Answer / kk pandey
By growing them in a media containing tetracycline.
If gene is present, the bacteria will resist the tetracycline
and will easily grow in the media.
If gene is absent,the bacteria wont be able to resist it and
will die, hence no growth will be seen on the media.

Has vitamin c been produced in a human naturally before?
Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?
