You want to select a bacterium that has obtained a genetic
marker conferring resistance to tetracycline. How would you
accomplish this?
Answer Posted / 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.

The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A, the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How would you respond to the following statements of the attornies: a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child must have come from the father and since my client is type B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by the attorney of the alleged father. b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's attorney.
