In selecting recombinant bacteria, cells are chosen that are resistant to a specific antibiotic. How are the bacteria made resistant?
◦ They are pre-selected for the experiment on this basis.
◦ The antibiotic resistance gene is encoded in the vector.
◦ The antibiotic resistance gene is encoded on the donor insert.
◦ Resistance is activated by the recombination event.
◦ Resistance is activated when the cells are provided with the antibiotic
