Ms. Carla was required to clone three different genes (Gene 1, Gene 2 and Gene 3) into PUC18. After generating three recombinant plasmids, she transformed them into the Escherichiu culi host cells and plated them on the LB agar plates containing X-gal. After a 16-hour incubation period, she obtained different outcomes for all of her three genes of interest. Gene I plate: No colonies at all Gene 2 plate: All blue colonies Gene 3 plate: All white colonies Explain the results obtained for cach plate with clear justification.

Ms. Carla was required to clone three different genes (Gcne 1, Gene 2 and Gene 3) into
PUC18. After generating three recombinant plasmids, she transformed them into the
Escherichiu coli host cells and plated them on the LB agar plates containing X-gal. After a
16-hour incubation peried, she obtained different outcomes for all of her three genes of
interest.
