Predict which of the following outcomes would be seen for E.coli cells that have been transformed by taking up plasmids with both the selection gene for ampicillin resistance and the GFP reporter gene.


a. Cells that take up both the selection gene and the reporter gene will not survive on LB agar without ampicillin.

b. Cells that take up only the ampR gene will not survive on LB/ampicillin agar.

c. Cells that take up only the reporter gene will form colonies that glow when grown on LB/ampicillin agar.

d. Cells that take up both the selection gene and the reporter gene will form glowing colonies when grown on LB/ampicillin agar.
