1. Using evidence from Table 2 (Part 1, table 2 “Starter plate conditions”), explain why the bacterial colonies on the starter plates are blue. They are blue because the lacZ has been activated. 2. If the bacteria on the starter plates did NOT have a functional lacZ gene, what color would you expect the colonies to be? They would either be white or have no color. 3. Explain how the differences between the IX and IX/ARA starter plates may influence gene editing in the laboratory activity.
The IX has no arabinose while IX/ARA has arabinose present. Sample Bacteria Source Plasmids Cas9 DNA Repair System sgRNA Donor Template DNA Predicted lacZ Change A IX pLZDonor + OFF - - none B IX pLZDonorGuide + OFF + + dead C IX/ARA pLZDonor + ON - - none D IX/ARA pLZDonorGuide + ON + + white 4. Based on the plasmid that will be added to each sample, fill in the sgRNA and Donor DNA columns with “+” or “-” to indicate which components those bacteria will have. 5. Predict any changes that may occur in the lacZ gene during the laboratory activity for each sample. Record your predictions. Bacterial plate cultures
