Question
Chapter 13, Problem 11A
Summary Introduction
To fill:
The correct term in the given blank.
Introduction:
Researchers use genetic engineering to manipulate DNA.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 11A
Biologists use DNA ligase to join two DNA molecules together.
Explanation of Solution
An enzyme normally used by cells for DNA repair and replication is DNA ligase. It can join two DNA fragments chemically. Ligase joins DNA fragments that have both sticky ends as well as those that have blunt ends.
Recombinant DNA can be made by connecting fragments of DNA from different sources. DNA ligase is used to join a plasmid DNA and a DNA fragment obtained from another genome to create a recombinant plasmid DNA.

Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16arrow_forward9.
