Plants are more readily manipulated by genetic engineering than are animals because

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology
  1. plant genes do not contain introns.
  2. more vectors are available for transferring recombinant DNA into plant cells.
  3. a somatic plant cell can often give rise to a complete plant.
  4. genes can be inserted into plant cells by microinjection.

Four E. coli strains of genotype a+ b− are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Four strains of genotype a− b+ are labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. The two genotypes are mixed in all possible combinations and (after incubation) are plated to determine the frequency of a+ b+ recombinants. The following results are obtained, where M = many recombinants, L = low numbers of recombinants, and 0 = no recombinants. On the basis of these results, assign a sex type (either Hfr, F+, or F−) to each strain
