2. (10 pts) Mark the following statements as being either TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is FALSE, provide a brief correction below the statement in order to make it true Only mutations in gametic cells have the potential to be passed on to the next generation. Conjugation between an Hfr and a F- bacteria will produce two bacteria that are both capable of initiating conjugation. The promoter and enhancers are both examples of trans-acting regulatory elements All vectors will hold roughly the same size of target DNA so the choice of vector in constructing a genomic library is not important at all. In eukaryotes, enhancers are essential to obtain maximum transcription rates

Explanation / Answer

1) true because any mutation occuring in sperm or egg will be inherited to the offsprin as the fusion of sperm and egg will result in the formation of zygote which will become an offspring and will possess the mutation

2) false it will result in one hfr and one F^-

3) false as they both are the cis regulatory element

4) false because the size that can be inserted into the vector varies from vector to vector that's why YAC has been discovered.

5) true.
