Chapter 15, Problem 14PIAT
Summary Introduction

To review:

Based on the graph’s data, analyze the results and predict the antibiotic inhibiting DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) synthesis most rapidly.

Introduction:

Ciprofloxacin is a drug that belongs to the class of quinolones and it inhibits the DNA synthesis of bacteria by targeting enzyme DNA gyrase. The inhibition of DNA synthesis is essential for preventing the growth of bacteria. The graph shows the results of a study in which three quinolones (family of antibiotics) were added in a culture of growing bacteria separately and then DNA synthesis rates were analyzed over time compared to a culture not exposed to any drug.

The following image is of an agarose gel. If DNA samples were loaded to this gel and the electrophoresis experiment was started, explain what would happen and why.
Could you explain how you would know if you successfully induced transformation? Thank you Did you successfully demonstrate transformation occurred? Why or why not? (How do I know, what do I look for?) Explain the control used in this experiment. What was it, and why was it necessary?  Based on the calculation in the question above, comment on the relative difficulty of achieving successful transformation of E. coli. (Please explain the relative difficulty)
In bacterial transformation, the purpose of having antibiotic within an agar plate is to: Select one: confirm which plasmids been have successfully ligated with a gene of interest. isolate bacteria which have been successfully transformed with the plasmid. indicate which plasmids were successfully digested by the endonuclease. act as a substrate which will be cleaved and produce a blue product when ligation is unsuccessful. show which plasmids contain the lacZ gene.
