Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Vectors used to clone genes were derived originally from
Respuesta
  • proteins
  • plasmids
  • viruses
  • all of the above
  • b and c only

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Restriction enzymes used in most cloning experiments
Respuesta
  • cut CNA into pieces for gene cloning
  • are naturally produced by bacteria cells to prevent viral infection
  • produce sticky ends on DNA fragments
  • All of the above are correct
  • only a and c are correct

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
DNA ligase is needed in a cloning experiment
Respuesta
  • to promote hydrogen bonding between sticky ends
  • to catalyze the covalent attachment of the backbone of DNA strands
  • to digest the chromosomal DNA into small pieces
  • Only a and b are correct
  • a, b, and c are correct

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
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?
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Why is Taq polymerase used in PCR rather than other DNA polymerases?
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
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?
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
The method of determining the base sequence of DNA is termed
Respuesta
  • PCR
  • gene cloning
  • DNA fingerprinting
  • DNA sequencing
  • gene mapping

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
With regard to dideoxy sequencing, which of the following statements is false?
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Organisms that carry genes that were introduced using molecular techniques are called
Respuesta
  • transgenics
  • recombinant DNA
  • mutants
  • genetically modified organisms
  • both a and d

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
DNA fingerprinting is used
Respuesta
  • to precisely identify an organism, such as the identification of specific strains of bacteria
  • as a forensics tool to provide evidence in a criminal case
  • to determine the genetic relationship between individuals
  • to determine the identity of an individual
  • for all of the above.
