## Plaque Math

$10 {\mu}L * {10^{12} \frac{\mbox{plaque forming units}}{{\mu}L}} * {10^{-8}\ \mbox{dilution}} = 10^5\ \mbox{plaque forming units}$

DH5 does not have an F vector so it will not have an F pilus. M13 Integrates into the F pilus, so no plaques should be seen in DH5.

## Synthetic biology is about engineering while genetic engineering is about biology.

This is a completely valid statement. Synthetic biology embodies engineering, applying knowledge to create a new system that is advantageous to society. Genetic engineering, on the other hand, is very much a scientific method, perturbing, rearranging, or introducing material into a system to study the system's reaction.
