Question 12. After transformation by electroporation, you can select transformed bacteria that carry a plasmid with an insert because: a. The transformed bacterial colony will be able to grow in the presence of ampicillin. b. The transformed bacterial colony will die in the presence of ampicillin. c. The transformed bacterial colony will be able to grow in the presence of ampicillin and will NOT have ß-galactosidase activity (white colony). d. The transformed bacterial colony will be able to grow in the presence of ampicillin and WILL have ß-galactosidase activity (blue colony). e. The transformed bacterial colony will die in the presence of ampicillin and will not have ß-galactosidase activity (a white colony on LB plates, minus ampicillin).
