You work in an environmental microbiology research lab, and your project is to design a recombinant bacterial strain that will be beneficial to the environment in some way. You decide to add recombinant DNA to E. coli. The DNA encodes an enzyme capable of oil catabolism. The resulting recombinant E. coli strain is able to metabolize and degrade oil from marine environments. O Genotypic Change Only O Phenotypic Change Only O Both Genotypic and Phenotypic Changes O Neither Genotypic nor Phenotypic Change

Question
**Environmental Microbiology Project: Developing Recombinant Bacterial Strains** **Project Overview:** In an environmental microbiology research lab, the focus is on creating a recombinant bacterial strain that positively impacts the environment. The aim is to add recombinant DNA to *E. coli* to produce a desired environmental benefit. **Recombinant DNA and Enzyme Production:** The added DNA encodes an enzyme capable of oil catabolism, enabling the *E. coli* bacteria to metabolize and degrade oil found in marine environments. This innovation could significantly aid in mitigating oil spills and their environmental impacts. **Objective:** Evaluate the changes in *E. coli* due to the introduction of recombinant DNA. **Consider the Following Changes:** - **Genotypic Change Only** - **Phenotypic Change Only** - **Both Genotypic and Phenotypic Changes** - **Neither Genotypic nor Phenotypic Change** Consider which type of change is most accurate given the introduction of DNA and the enzyme production resulting from this genetic modification.
