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
Words at the bottom separated by commas is the word bank. 3 of the questions are already answered.
Each peak in a chromatogram corresponds to:
A fluorescent ddNTP which has been released from the DNA fragment resulting in the termination of synthesis
A fluorescent dNTP which has been released from the DNA fragment resulting in the termination of synthesis
A fluorescent dNTP which has been incorporated into the DNA fragment resulting in the termination of synthesis.
A fluorescent ddNTP which has been incorporated into the DNA fragment resulting in the termination of synthesis

- Cloning Genes Is a Multistep Process Which enzyme is responsible for covalently linking DNA strands together? a. DNA polymerase b. DNA ligase c. EcoRl d. restriction enzymes e. RNA polymerasearrow_forwardCloning Genes Is a Multistep Process In cloning human DNA, why is it necessary to insert the DNA into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid?arrow_forwardFigure 17.7 You are working in a molecular biology lab and, unbeknownst to you, your lab partner left the foreign genomic DNA that you are planning to clone on the lab bench overnight instead of storing it in the freezer. As a result, it was degraded by nucleases, but still used in the experiment. The plasmid, on the other hand, is fine. What results would you expect from your molecular cloning experiment? There will be no colonies on the bacterial plate. There will be blue colonies only. There will be blue and white colonies. The will be white colonies only.arrow_forward
- fellow lab worker brings you DNA containing what might be a similar gene in Leopard Geckos (XG). She asks you to see if you can amplify it using the same primers you used in frogs and the Bearded Dragon. You run the PCR and then analyze the product by running the DNA on an agarose gel. As a control, you run out the PCR product you amplified in Bearded Dragons and a DNA “ladder” of DNA pieces of known sizes. The gel results are shown below. Marker = DNA ladder; Lane A = Bearded Dragon PCR product; Lane B = Leopard Gecko PCR results. In the box below, determine the sizes of the PCR products shown in Lanes A & B. Size of Bearded Dragon PCR product: ______________________________ Sizes of Leopard Gecko PCR products: ______________________ yes or No - based on the results shown in the gel above – would you say the frog PCR primers for gene X amplified the same gene in the Bearded Dragon?arrow_forwardWhich ingredient will allow the DNA to form cloudy clumps which can be collected with tweezers salt rubbing alcohols detergent solution water What is the purpose of PCR? To copy and then make many copies of a specific region of DNA To copy the entire human genome To make just a few copies of DNA To reveal the sequence of a piece of DNA If enzyme catalase has an optimum pH of 7.0, What do you think will happen en the pH is lowered to 3.0? The rate of its enzyme action is increased. Its enzyme action is not affected at all. The rate of its enzyme action is decreased. Its enzyme action ceases or stops.arrow_forwardHershey and Chase used radioactive components to tag protein and DNA before infecting bacteriophage.

- Choose the statements below which are correct. There may be more than one correct statement. A) primers are required in both PCR and DNA replication B) PCR is done in a tube while DNA replication occurs inside our cells C) PCR and DNA replication both use a type of DNA ploymerase D) PCR will always copy the entire chromosomearrow_forwardThe tuble below shows part of the process of DNA replication Origin al ONA Strand Complementary DNA Strand A-C-C-G-T-A-C T-G-G-A A-T-G What is the most likely effect this could have on genetic information going forward? O There willl be no change in the genetic information that gets transmitted because the complementary strand will never be used as a template O There will not be a change in the genetic information that gets transmitted because the cells having the new section of DNA will cored any mutations O There will be a change in the genetic information that gets transmitted due to the complementary strand being used as a template in fulure DNA replication. OThere will be a change in the genetic information that gets transmitted because the sections of DNA with mistakes will be passed on to make future generalions songerarrow_forwardWhat was the purpose of adding RNase or protease to a DNA extract?arrow_forward
- Researchers are designing several experiments to test the ability of Salmonella bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance. A culture of Salmonella bacteria is exposed to the same concentrations (200 mg/L) of an antibiotic for four days. The table shows the number of isolated resistant bacteria over a four-day period. Which of the following statements best explains these results? A - The bacteria were not affected by the antibiotic. B - After being exposed to the antibiotic, the bacteria altered their DNA. C - A new species of bacteria emerged after the antibiotics were introduced. D - Random mutations led some bacteria to be resistant and, over time, they increased in the population.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best explains the natural function to the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid? It expresses a toxin that causes tumors in insects, making them avoid soil containing Agrobacterium They are used cause tumors in mice, in order to study cancer genetics It is used by Agrobacterium to induce tumors in its plant host, so the plant will make food for the bacteria It is used by geneticists to make transgenic plantsarrow_forwardFill in the following with the correct words about cloning (the first blank will be the first word and the second blank will be the second word. There are two types of cloning, the first is when scientists change the cellular function this is called cloning and can help with creating insulin and vaccines to name a few.
