4. Diagram 3 below shows a vector map of the plasmid vector p ows pUC19 that contains ampicillin resistance gene and lac Z gene.
Diagram 3 pUC19 is used as a vector to clone the gene coding for human insulin. a. Describe, with reference to specific restriction enzymes, how human insulin gene can be inserted into the vector pUC19 to form recombinant DNA. DNA (4)

The cells from the transformation process are grown on a agar plate. b. In addition to the nutrients necessary for growth, name two other substances that were added to the agar plate to allow for selection of cells successf successfully transformed with the recombinant plasmid.
