4. You isolate DNA from 1 ml of a suspension of E. coli cells using the procedure outlined in your lab handout. After completing the DNA isolation procedure, the total volume of the DNA solution is 700 ul. You transfer 80 ul of this DNA solution into 720 µl of TE buffer to create a diluted DNA solution. Using a spectrophotometer, you determine that the concentration of the diluted DNA solution is 440 µg/ml. a. How much did you dilute the original DNA solution? Express the dilution as a ratio. b. What is the concentration of the original DNA solution? c. How much total DNA did you isolate from the suspension of E. coli cells? d. How much total DNA was present in the diluted DNA solution?
