Frage 4
Frage
Let's suppose you followed protocols described in figures 20.2 and 20.3. Which experiment(s) would you conduct to confirm that a white colony really contained a recombinant vector with an inserted fragment of DNA?
Antworten
-
Pick a bacterial colony and restreak on plates containing X-Gal to confirm that the cells really form white colonies.
-
Pick a bacterial colony, isolate plasmid DNA, digest the plasmid DNA with a restriction enzyme, and then preform gel electrophoresis with the DNA.
-
Pick a bacterial colony and test it to see it X-Gal is functional within the bacterial cells.
-
Pick a bacterial colony and retest it on ampicillin-containing plates to double-check that the cells are really ampicillin resistant.
-
Both c and d should be conducted.
Frage 5
Frage
Why is Taq polymerase used in PCR rather than other DNA polymerases?
Antworten
-
Taq polymerase is a synthetic enzyme that produces DNA strands at a faster rate than natural polymerases.
-
Taq polymerase is a heat-stable form of DNA polymerase that can function after exposure to the high temperatures necessary for PCR.
-
Taq polymerase is easier to isolate than other DNA polymerases.
-
Taq polymerase is the DNA polymerase commonly produced by most eukaryotic cells.
-
All of the above are correct.
Frage 6
Frage
Let's suppose you want to clone a gene that has never been analyzed before by DNA sequencing. Which of the following statements do you agree with the most?
Antworten
-
Do PCR to clone the gene because it is much faster.
-
Do PCR to clone the gene because it is very specific and gives a high yield.
-
You can't do PCR because you can't make forward and reverse primers.
-
Do cloning by insertion into a vector because it will give you a higher yield.
-
Do cloning by insertion into a vector because it is easier than PCR.
Frage 7
Frage

Antworten
-
PCR
-
gene cloning
-
DNA fingerprinting
-

Frage 8
Frage
With regard to dideoxy sequencing, which of the following statements is false?
Antworten
-
The dideoxy nucleotides are fluorescently labeled.
-
The dideoxy nucleotides cannot be incorporated into a growing DNA strand.
-
When incorporated into a DNA strand, the dideoxynucleotides prevent further growth of the strand.
-
The dideoxy sequencing method is used to determine the base sequence of DNA.
-
The dideoxy sequencing method requires the use of primers.
