the exconjugant received the gene to make supD tRNA that was successful in suppressing the STOP codon UAG with the amino acid serine. The substitution of serine in the amino acid chain does not harm the protein function or structure. Therefore, the bacteria is successful in utilizing lactose properly. • For exconjugants from mating E there was no growth on min+lac and Mackonkeys had white colonies. So supE which used glutamine to suppress the UAG nonsense mutation was not successful in creating a protein
