2. Your Genetics professor gives you and your classmate's information on a restriction digest. The restriction enzymes and their respective cuts have been provided to you, as well as a cryptic restriction map. It is your job to determine what cuts (A, B, C) came from which restriction enzyme and what fragment sizes (a, b, c, d) belong in what order. Answer the following questions below using the information provided. Note: the restriction enzyme cuts are not to scale. Restriction Enzyme 1: 165, 413, 710 Restriction Enzyme 2: 511, 777 Double Digest (1 + 2): 165, 199, 413, 511 a) Indicate the restriction enzyme that made the cut at each location (A, B, and C). Note: A restriction enzyme may have cut the fragment at more than one location. b) Indicate the DNA fragment size from the double digest that belongs to each position (a, b, c, d) on the restriction map. As you will note, the size of each fragment does not identify the size of the fragment (the map is not to scale).
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
