Pregunta 12
Pregunta
Once inside the cell, the ssDONA of M13...
Respuesta
-
Is convered to dsDNA that acts like a plasmid
-
Is integrated into the bacterial chromosome
-
Is cut up by restriction enzymes ans integrated into the bacterial chromosome
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
TEVEN and Lambda enter the bacteria directly through the pore
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
What is the point of the resistance genes in this Generation 1 plasmid
Respuesta
-
Tetracycline is interrupted- E.Coli with no resistance have had the recombinant plasmid inserted
-
The recombinant DNA is inserted at the EcrR1 site
-
E.Coli with ampicillin resistance have taken up a version of the plasmid
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
What gene is disrupted in Gen 2 plasmids?
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
Once the LacZ subunit has been assembled, what form does LacZ take?
Respuesta
-
Monomer
-
Dimer
-
Tetramer
-
Hexamer
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
For Gen 2 plasmid testing to work, the LacZ gene must be removed from the E.Coli, and a plasmid for the large LacZ subunit added
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
Why is the dish impregnated with X-Gal?
Respuesta
-
It goes from blue to white in the presence of LacZ
-
It goes from white to blue in the presence of LacZ
-
It goes from white to blue in the presence of the small subunit of LacZ
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
If the gene is successfully inserted, the colony will remain white
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
A Phagemid is virally inserted DNA in plasmid form
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
Why would a vector be given an M13 origin and inserted with M13?
Respuesta
-
The M13 phage will treat the plasmid as its own DNA and replicate it for secretion
-
The phage will insert the vector into the chromosome
-
The phage will prevent the bacteria from destroying the plasmid
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
Cosmids are plasmids with...?
Respuesta
-
Cos lambda sites
-
Cos beta sites
-
Cos gamma sites
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
Which of the following has the largest limit?
Pregunta 24
Pregunta
Why do you remove a phosphate from the ends of bacterial DNA using a phosphatase?
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
Why mix enzyme T4 and ATP together with the DNA to be inserted?
Respuesta
-
Adding AMP to ligated ends gives easily ligable high energy form
-
ATP & T4 remove the phosphates from the ends of the DNA to prevent self annealing
-
T4 can only ligate DNA in the presence of ATP
Pregunta 26
Pregunta
A vector must be used because E.Coli cannot take up linear DNA
