Pick the correct answer

 

1. White or blue

2. resistant or sensitive

The lacZ gene from E. coli encodes the enzyme B-galactosidase, which
catalyzes conversion of a colorless compound called X-gal into a blue
product. The lacZ gene is often used in plasmid vectors used for cloning,
like the vector shown here.
The amp' gene encodes an enzyme that makes a bacterial cell resistant
to ampicillin.
