Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 11TYU
DRAW IT You are cloning an aardvark gene, using a bacterial plasmid as a vector. The green diagram shows the plasmid, which contains the restriction site for the enzyme used in Figure 20.5. Above the plasmid is a segment of linear aardvark DNA that was synthesized using PCR. Diagram your cloning procedure, and show what would happen to these two molecules during each step. Use one color for the aardvark DNA and its bases and another color for those of the plasmid. Label each step and all 5' and 3' ends.

Please put in correct order
You are studying a new plasmid, and you digest the plasmid with three restriction
enzymes: Eco RI (E), HindlII (H), and Xbal (X).
You digest the plasmid DNA with each of the following combinations of enzymes and
observe the results on an agarose gel. You are provided a partial plasmid map as shown
below to the right.

a. What is the size of this plasmid in base pairs?
b. What is the distance in base pairs between E1 and H?
c. What is the distance in base pairs between E1 and X?
d. What is the distance in base pairs between E2 and H?
e. What is the distance in base pairs between E2 and X?
After transformation you were asked to grow bacterial cells transformed with plasmid on a plate that had X-gal and ampicillin. X-Gal is often used as in indicator dye, which turns blue when metabolized by B-galactosidase protein and used to test if cloning experiments have worked. [Note look at the vector diagrams carefully]
Briefly explain how you would find the bacterial cells that are transformed with the plasmid with the YFG inserted.

- You want to clone a specific PCR amplicon. You have determined that the amplicon you want to clone has enzyme restriction sites for HindIII and EcoRI. After investigation you have seen that the pUC18/19 plasmid also have these enzyme restriction sites in its multiple cloning site (MCS on map included). After enzyme digestion your amplicon is 854 bp long. What length will the recombinant plasmid be after you have inserted your amplicon? Show a calculation.arrow_forwardPlease both partsarrow_forwardThe amplified target DNA is now ready to be cloned into a plasmid. The next step is to perform a restrictionenzyme digest on the amplified target DNA and plasmid. The plasmid map is shown below. Look up the restriction enzyme and indicate whether the restriction enzyme will produce a bluntor staggered cut. (1 mark)Note: Type either Blunt or Staggered (refer to the image) b. Based on the plasmid map, list the size of fragments produced when the following restriction enzymesare used.Note: to answer correctly you must order the fragments from smallest to largest and separate each with acomma. There should be no spaces between numbers and commas. e.g. 400,500,530 (refer to the image) Note: Please refer to the image for everything related!. check answers for part b).

- Below is shown a plasmid map from a recombinant DNA experiment you have performed. You inserted your gene of interest (labeled gene on the map) into the lac Z reporter gene via a Hind III site. If you digested this recombinant DNA with HindIII what is the size of the DNA fragment(s) you would obtain on a DNA gel electrophoresis? The plasmid alone is 4000 bp.

The sequence of the template strand is ATGCCCGTAATCGTTA and you are given the primer TAACGA. You take these along with a sequencing kit that contains everything else needed for sequencing. You then run the sequencing experiment and analyze the results on a sequencing gel. Which of the following gels (A-D) is the correct sequencing gel for this experiment?

The Aenzyme cuts at positions 0 and 9.2 kb and the sites are shown as white. (0 is at the top of the circle.) TheB enzyme cuts at positions 3.8, 7 and 13.2 kb and the sites are shown as gray.

Samples A to C are taken from tissues of landslide victims that are being identified, while sample D came from a hair sample brought by a mother looking for the remains of her son. (see img) i.
