Concept explainers
(a)
To explain: The DNA species in the two bands.
Introduction: DNA is negatively charged. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate the DNA fragments under the influence of electric field. They move rapidly toward the positively charged electrode. DNA fragments are separated by size and form distinct bands on the gel.
(b)
To explain: The effect of topoisomerase I on the upper and lower bands after electrophoresis, when it was added to the DNA solution.
Introduction: DNA is negatively charged. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate the DNA fragments under the influence of electric field. They move rapidly toward the positively charged electrode. DNA fragments are separated by size and form distinct bands on the gel.
(c)
To explain: The effect of DNA ligase on the appearance of bands, if it is added to the DNA solution.
Introduction: DNA is negatively charged. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate the DNA fragments under the influence of electric field. They move rapidly toward the positively charged electrode. DNA fragments are separated by size and form distinct bands on the gel.
(d)
To explain: The way through which the band pattern would change, if DNA gyrase and ATP were added to the DNA solution after addition of DNA ligase.
Introduction: DNA is negatively charged. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate the DNA fragments under the influence of electric field. They move rapidly toward the positively charged electrode. DNA fragments are separated by size and form distinct bands on the gel.

Write the protein segment that would form from this DNA. 5'-A-T-G-G-C-T-A-G-G-T-A-A-C-C-T-G-C-A-T-T-A-G-3' Table 4.5 The genetic code First Position Second Position (5' end) U C A G Third Position (3' end) Phe Ser Tyr Cys U Phe Ser Tyr Cys Leu Ser Stop Stop Leu Ser Stop Trp UCAG Leu Pro His Arg His Arg C Leu Pro Gln Arg Pro Leu Gin Arg Pro Leu Ser Asn Thr lle Ser Asn Thr lle Arg A Thr Lys UCAG UCAC G lle Arg Thr Lys Met Gly Asp Ala Val Gly Asp Ala Val Gly G Glu Ala UCAC Val Gly Glu Ala Val Note: This table identifies the amino acid encoded by each triplet. For example, the codon 5'-AUG-3' on mRNA specifies methionine, whereas CAU specifies histidine. UAA, UAG, and UGA are termination signals. AUG is part of the initiation signal, in addition to coding for internal methionine residues. Table 4.5 Biochemistry, Seventh Edition 2012 W. H.
