⟩ What is the method used to identify your transformed cells from the plasmid vector?

I) If transformant is thought to have antibiotic resistant

gene (called as Marker Gene)along with ur desired gene, then

culture those cells in a media containing that same

antibiotic.

==>Case 1:- the cell is not transformed.:-

the cell will not have the antibiotic resistant gene, hence

it wont grow (or simply die)bcoz of antibiotic in the media.

==>Case 2:-the cell is successfully transformed.:-

The cell will easily grow in media bcoz antibiotic wont

affect it as cell will resist it.(bcoz of marker gene).
