Question

If the DNA fragment encodes penicillin resistance, how could you experimentally distinguish between (a) and (b)?

Bacterial-
DNA fragment
(no origin of replication)
chromosome
DNA molecules without an origin
of replication cannot replicate in a cell.
Only one daughter cell
will have a copy of the
DNA fragment.
(a) Non-integrated DNA fragment
DNA fragment
(no origin of replication)
Homologous recombination
A DNA fragment integrated into a
bacterial chromosome can be replicated
and passed on to daughter cells.
All daughter cells
will have a copy of the
DNA fragment.
(b) Integrated DNA fragment
