What makes the species of Agrobacterium ideal for genetic engineering? Describe its characteristics and its role in producing transgenic plants.
Bacteriophage lambda is as one of the routinely used molecular cloning vectors, which alsoserved as a model system for the study of bacteriophage morphogenesis, DNA replication, andgene regulation.a) With the aid of a diagram, generally narrate how a foreign gene can be inserted into alambda insertion vector and subsequently infect an Escherichia coli cell.b) You are cloning a 7.5 kb gene into a lambda gt10 vector, utilizing a restriction site whichspecifically present in the vector. State the restriction site that you can use for this purposeand suggest a screening procedure to indicate successful integration of the gene into thehost genome.

But first scientists need to discover if different strains of this pathogen have restriction endonucleases that it may use for its own protection. They try 3 different RE’s:a) EcoR1 b) HaeIII c) BamH1 Look up the recognition sequences for the 3 Res.
