Question -Esther is completing her PhD project in bacterial distribution in mangroves and theirbiochemical characteristics. She manages to isolate and identify around 80 differentbacterial species from the various mangrove sites. She preserves the isolates by growingthem on a tryptic soy agar supplemented with sea salt and re-streaks them every week. After8 months she notices that some of the isolates have changed their genetic sequence whencompared to the initially identified sequence. Using a diagram explain what could havehappened to the isolates when she re-streaked them repeatedly and recommend a solutionto prevent this from occurring in the future and give explanation why it is moreadvantageous.
Need help:, The rRNAs are isolated from the large subunit of a bacterial ribosome and separated by density
gradient centrifugation. Draw the resulting density gradient and label the bands observed. Which rRNA is longest?

- VISUAL SKILLS If the DNA pol I in a given cell werenonfunctional, how would that affect the synthesis ofa leading strand? In the overview box in Figure 16.17,point out where DNA pol I would normally function onthe top leading strand.arrow_forwardObjective: Get a sense of how genomics, the study of the genome in its entirety,needs to think about how to go about its research. Geonomic DNA is broken up into fragments. The 5’ and 3’ ends of each fragment(a “read”) are sequenced. The sequenced reads are assembled together intocontiguous sequences (“contigs”) based on sequence similarity. The idea is to sequence enough random fragments so that every nucleotide in thegenome is represented on some read. The number of such fragments needed iscalled the coverage, c. The coverage c can be calculated by the formula RL/G, where R is the number ofreads sequenced, L is the average length of a read and G is the total length of thegenome. The units of length are bases (b) or base pairs (bp). Consider a genome whose length is 1000 bp. “Shotgun” sequencing techniquesare applied to the genome, resulting in 20 reads, with an average length of 50 bp.A very important point is that, even though 20 x 50 = 1000, there is no guaranteethat ALL…arrow_forwardObjective: Get a sense of how genomics, the study of the genome in its entirety,needs to think about how to go about its research.

To combat this problem, scientists created golden rice, in contrast to white rice. Using recombinant technology, golden rice is created by added two new beta-carotene genes, one from daffodil and one from a soil bacterium. The result is a rice that contains high levels of vitamin A.
