then mixed with competent E. coli cells followed by heat shock and the streaking of transformed cells on two different types of agar plate (LB and LB+ampicillin). The extracted plasmid DNA is important as it contains ampicillin-resistant gene. As such‚ E. coli cells that have taken up this plasmid DNA will be resistant to ampicillin and survive‚ hence growth of colonies will be observed on the agar plates. One of the rationales behind heat shock method is to create pores‚ allowing uptake of plasmid

However‚ social experiments such as the Good Samaritan Experiment (Darley and Batson‚1973)‚ the Milgram Shock Experiment (1963)‚ and the Stanford Prison Experiment (Zimbardo‚1973) give psychologists results that say otherwise. The majority of the unknowing participants in these three experiments showed a surprising lack of compassion for a fellow human who
