複選題29. Below is a map of the pBR322 plasmid, numbers on the map refer to the base where the site is located. Which of the following statements is/are FALSE?(A) If a recombinant plasmid were obtained inserting DNA into the BamHI site, the recombinant plasmid would be resistant to the antibiotic tetracycline. (B) If a recombinant plasmid were obtained by inserting DNA into the EcoRV site, the plasmid will be resistant to ampicillin.
