Question

The gene encoding what product of interest was inserted into the vector to create the pglo recombinant plasmid?.

Answer 1

Answer: Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)

Step-by-step explanation:

GFP acts as a phenotypic marker. It will cause the cell to produce fluorescence if it was transformed into the cell properly.

The plasmid also contains an ampicillin resistance cassette which produces Beta-lactamase to allow the cell to grow in/on media with ampicilin typically up to 100 ug/mL.
