1.If you see colonies on your LB AMP replica plate that you streaked last week, then this most likely indicates that:

a.the bacterial colonies have the pAMP plasmid

b.the bacterial colonies have the pKAN plasmid

c.the bacterial colonies have the recombinant dual resistant pAMP/KAN plasmid

d.None of the above

2.) Explain your answer:

Solution

If the bacterial colonies are growing in the APM containing media it means the plasmid which the bacteria is carrying is amp resistant therefore first option is correct.since the bacteria contains the ampicilin resistant gene that is why it is able to grow on the ampicilin containing media.
