Genetic transformation is a change caused by genes, inserting a gene into an organism to change a trait or traits. In this experiment, bacteria will be transformed with a gene that code for Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). The bacteria with this gene will cause them to glow bright green color under ultraviolet light. Plasmid DNA contains genes for one or more traits that may be beneficial to survival. In this cause, the pGLO is resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin. The gene for GFP can be changed in transformed cells by adding arabinose to the cells nutrient medium. Transformed cells will grow on plates with LB/amp, and will appear white under UV light on plates not containing arabinose. By conducting this experiment you can see genetic
