If you were to set up a PCR reaction (in vitro DNA synthesis) with a DNA template, primers,DNA polymerase, DATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP and a small amount of ddATP, what would be the result? DNA synthesis would happen normally. All DNA molecules produced would be the same length as the template. DNA synthesis might be terminated after the addition of any adenine base (at random). DNA molecules of many different lengths would be produced. DNA synthesis would be terminated after the first adenine base is added. All DNA molecules produced would the same length, shorter than the template.

If we extract DNA of a pool of cells, will that impact the DNA sequencing? In other words, having more than one cell will affect the DNA sequence of our sample? Same as 1, but with RNA. Cite one problem you expect when investigating a pool of cells.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used by scientists to amplify DNA, particularly when the quantity of DNA is very small, mixed, or contaminated with other organisms. Explain (with words) the how PCR works using a diagram to help illustrate this (show a minimum of three cycles to illustrate your point).
The following statements are true about common gene cloning procedures except: -DNA plasmids can help move around genes into other cells - Restriction enzymes are very important for cutting up and linking chunks of DNA -We make it so that genes from plants or animals are expressed in bacteria so the products can be harvested - DNA plasmids are chunks of chromosomal DNA used for cloning
Which of the following chemicals or procedures is not involved in a typical Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Select one: O a. ddNTPs b. O C. O d. Oe. O f. Repeated cycling (typically 32 cycles) for exponential target amplification DNA strand replication/extension Annealing of oligonucleotide primer or primers Thermostable (Taq) DNA polymerase Buffer with required cofactor: Mg 2+ Og.

After you design the PCR primers, you run the PCR on fluid from the patient’s nasal swab. Next, you need to evaluate the results. PCR makes billions of copies of just one sequence in a sample. Since you know the sequence, you also know the length (number of nucleotides) of the region you copied. There are about 130 nucleotides in the N gene fragment. This is typically stated as 130 base pairs. How can you visualize DNA and estimate its size? Load the DNA sample into an agarose gel (similar in consistency to jello) and apply an electric current to the gel. The DNA is charged and will move through the gel. The longer the DNA fragment, the more slowly it moves. The DNA is visualized by adding a fluorescent dye to your sample that sticks to DNA. When you look at the gel under UV light, the DNA should glow. What is the charge of a DNA molecule? Based on #1, would you expect DNA to be drawn to the (+) or (-) electrode of the gel electrophoresis chamber?
Below is shown a plasmid map from a recombinant DNA experiment you have performed. You inserted your gene of interest (labeled gene on the map) into the lac Z reporter gene via a Hind III site. If you digested this recombinant DNA with HindIII what is the size of the DNA fragment(s) you would obtain on a DNA gel electrophoresis? The plasmid alone is 4000 bp. I have attached the image below.
Put the steps of one PCR cycle in the correct order: The PCR reaction mixture is heated to about 70 degrees, which is the optimum temperature for the polymerase to build the new strands of DNA, starting at the 3' end of the primer. The PCR reaction mixture is heated to 95 degrees Celsius, which denatures the double stranded template DNA. The PCR reaction mixture is cooled to about 50-55 degrees, which allows the primers to find their complementary site on the template and "anneal" the
We usually think of enzymes as being most active at around 37°C, yet in PCR the DNA polymerase is subjected to multiple exposures of relatively high temperatures and seems to function appropriately at 65–75°C. What is special about the DNA polymerase typically used in PCR?
PCR is an exponential copying of the template strands and can be represented by the function: y = a * 2n, where a is the initial number of template copies and n is equal to the number of cycles PCR has gone through. How many DNA fragments would be produced after: 15 cycles? 13 cycles with 13 starting template strands? 29 cycles with 32 starting template strands?
PCR is a molecular biology technique where template DNA is amplified using a primer and oligonucleotides. The reaction is catalyzed by a thermostable DNA polymerase and in a particular reaction, the template strands are denatured at 95˚C. For strand hybridization, the melting temperature is 55˚C. What do you predict about the average duration of H bonds at the high temperature in comparison to the low temperature?
