(a) Identify the colony that has got transformed. Justify your answer.
Show Hint
In transformation experiments:
- Disrupted resistance gene = Loss of resistance.
- Growth indicates retained resistance (e.g., ampicillin resistance).

Solution and Explanation
- The transformed colony is the one that grows on Plate M (with ampicillin) but does not grow on Plate N (with both ampicillin and tetracycline).
- Justification: The recombinant DNA disrupts the tetracycline resistance gene, making the bacteria sensitive to tetracycline, but retains ampicillin resistance, allowing growth on Plate M.
