Chapter 15, Problem 37P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of white color of luxR/lacZ colonies in the absence of autoinducer.

Introduction:

In an experiment to understand the molecular mechanism of quorum sensing, the use of two transcriptional fusion reporter genes was involved each having the 9 kb fragment of Vibrio fischeri DNA.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of white color of luxICDABE/lacZ colonies in the absence of autoinducer.

Introduction:

In a reporter known as luxICDABE/lacZ, the luxICDABE operon regulatory sequences drive lacZ expression. It means that the structural genes of the operon are replaced by the lacZ coding sequences.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of white color of luxR/lacZ colonies in the presence of autoinducer.

Introduction:

In the reporter known as luxR/lacZ, the luxR regulatory region drives the transcription of lacZ. It means that the luxR coding sequences are replaced by the lacZ.

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of blue colored luxICDABE/lacZ colonies in the presence of autoinducer and the time-dependency of the reaction.

Introduction:

The E.coli that contains either of the reporter (luxR/lacZ or luxICDABE/lacZ) has white colonies. When the purified autoinducer is added to the media, the luxR/lacZ colonies remain white but the luxICDABE/lacZ colonies turn blue over time.

Summary Introduction

e.

To determine:

The inference that can be made out about the transcription of the luxR gene from the given results.

Introduction:

The regulatory region of luxR drives the transcription of the lacZ gene. It indicates that the coding sequence of luxR is replaced by the coding sequence of lacZ.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait? (4 pts)? 12pt v R Paragraph V BIU A श्र > B
There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
