Colonies whose beta galactosidase gene carries an insert appear:
ABlue in colour
BRed in colour
CGreen in colour
DWith no colour
Answer & Solution

1. The chromogenic substrate turns blue only if the enzyme works.
2. An insert inactivates the gene for that enzyme.
3. So recombinant colonies stay colourless.
