Describe the process of Southern blotting.
You are working in a molecular biology lab and, unbeknownst to you, your lab partner left the foreign genomic DNA that you are planning to clone on the lab bench overnight instead of storing it in the freezer. As a result, it was degraded by nucleases but still used in the experiment. The plasmid, on the other hand, is fine.
What results would you expect from your molecular cloning experiment?
a. There will be no colonies on the bacterial plate.
b. There will be blue colonies only.
c. There will be blue and white colonies.
d. They will be white colonies only
