A donor DNA and plasmid vector DNA of E. coli are cut by EcoRI. The plasmid contains genes for resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline. The ECoRI recognition sequence lies within the gene for tetracycline resistance. Ligase is used, and the recombinant DNA is produced. The plasmids are transferred to E.coli with the help of electroporation. Samples of the bacterial colonies are then grown in four different media: nutrient medium plus ampicillin, nutrient medium plus tetracycline, nutrient medium plus ampicillin and tetracycline, and nutrient medium without antibiotics. Non-recombinant transformants will grow on:

1. the nutrient medium plus ampicillin, but not on the medium containing tetracycline.
2. only on the medium containing both antibiotics.
3. on the medium containing tetracycline, but not on the medium containing ampicillin.
4. on all four types of mediums.
