The following partial restriction map shows a recombinant plasmid, pBIO220

The following partial restriction map shows a recombinant plasmid, pBIO220, formed by cloning a piece of Drosophila DNA (striped segment), including the gene rosy, into the vector pBR322, which also contains the penicillin resistance gene, pen. The vector part of the plasmid contains only the two E recognition sequences shown and no A or B sequences. The gel (in the next column) shows several restriction digests of pBIO220.

(a) Use the stained gel pattern to deduce where restriction-enzyme recognition sequences are located in the cloned fragment.

(b) A PCR-amplified copy of the entire 2000-bp rosy gene was used to probe a Southern blot of the same gel. Use the Southern blot results to deduce the location of rosy in the cloned fragment. Redraw the map showing the location of the rosy gene.

Hint
ManagementPenicillin resistance: Antibiotic resistance is when the bacteria develop the ability to survive the exposure to the antibiotics, which are designed to kill them or even stop their growth. Also, these bacteria's are free to grow, multiply and then cause the infection within the host even when they are exposed to antibiotics. They are a major obstacle in the treatment of the infectious di...
