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?
Which of the following best describes the process of DNA seqencing.
a. DNA is seperated on a gel and the different bands are labled with flouroscent nucleotides and scanned with a laser.
b. A laser is used to flurorescently label the nucleotides present with in the DNA , the DNA is run on a gel and then the DNA is droken into fragments
c. Nucleotides are scanned with a laser and incrprorated into the DNA that has been seperated on a gel and then DNA is amplified with PCR.
d. fragments of DNA are produced in a reaction that lables them with any of four different fluroscent dyes and the fragmented then are run on a gel and scanned with laser
e. DNA is broken down into its constituents nucleotides and the nucleotides are then run on a gel and purified with a laser
You have 2 solutions of DNA. Solution 1 contains single stranded viral DNA while Solution 2 has double stranded form of the same viral DNA. Both solutions contain 1 mg/ml of DNA. You then expose each of these solutions to UV light at 260 nm. Which of the following results would you expect to see after UV light exposure?
a.Neither solution will absorb any UV light but the DNA in both solutions will be broken by the action of the UV light.
b.Solution 1 will absorb less light than Solution 2
c.Solution 1 will absorb more light than solution 2.
d.Nothing will occur. DNA can only absorb UV light if it is interchelated with ethidium bromide.
e.Both solutions will absorb the same amount of light since their concentrations are the same.

- You have run a gel with 5 uL of amplified DNA in addition to 1 uL of 6X loading dye. Comparing the brightness of this band to your marker, you estimated that your amplified DNA is approximately 62 ng. What was the concentration of your amplified DNA that was loaded? You do not need to account for the volume of loading dye in your calculations.arrow_forwardAnswer part C of the following: A) E. coli DNA and binturong DNA are both 50% G-C. If you randomly shear E. coli DNA into 1000 bp fragments and put it through density gradient equilibrium centrifugation, you will find that all the DNA bands at the same place in the gradient, and if you graph the distribution of DNA fragments in the gradient you will get a single peak (see below). If you perform the same experiment with binturong DNA, you will find that a small fraction of the DNA fragments band separately in the gradient (at a different density) and give rise to a small "satellite" peak on a graph of the distribution of DNA fragments in the gradient (see below). Why do these two DNA samples give different results, when they're both 50% G-C? See graph B. B) If you denatured the random 1000 bp fragments of binturong DNA that you produced in question 1a by heating them to 95ºC, and then cooled them down to 60ºC and allowed them to reanneal, you would find that approximately 15% of the…arrow_forwardYou have two sewage samples that you want to check for the SARS Cov 2 viral load.
