The staggered ends of two different enzymes can be ligated together, but afterwards cannot be cut by the same enzymes

When dealing with DNA-cutting enzymes, what does the word degenerate mean?
Responda
-
The ends they produce don't last long

Questão 9
Questão
Why is E.Coli most often used as a cloning vector?
Responda
-
It has a rapid generation time
-
Its DNA is easy to manipulate
-
Its DNA is easy to get hold of
-
They don't mutate much
Questão 10
Questão
Bacteriophages can be used to transplant vectors into E.Coli
Questão 11
Questão
How does M13 infect the male E.Coli?
Questão 12
Questão
Once inside the cell, the ssDONA of M13...
Responda
-
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
Questão 13
Questão
TEVEN and Lambda enter the bacteria directly through the pore
Questão 14
Questão
What is the point of the resistance genes in this Generation 1 plasmid
Responda
-
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
Questão 15
Questão
What gene is disrupted in Gen 2 plasmids?
Questão 16
Questão
Once the LacZ subunit has been assembled, what form does LacZ take?
Responda
-
Monomer
-
Dimer
-
Tetramer
-
Hexamer
Questão 17
Questão
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
Questão 18
Questão
Why is the dish impregnated with X-Gal?
Responda
-
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
Questão 19
Questão
If the gene is successfully inserted, the colony will remain white
Questão 20
Questão
A Phagemid is virally inserted DNA in plasmid form
Questão 21
Questão
Why would a vector be given an M13 origin and inserted with M13?
Responda
-
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
Questão 22
Questão
Cosmids are plasmids with...?
Responda
-
Cos lambda sites
-
Cos beta sites
-
Cos gamma sites
Questão 23
Questão
Which of the following has the largest limit?
Questão 24
Questão
Why do you remove a phosphate from the ends of bacterial DNA using a phosphatase?
Questão 25
Questão
Why mix enzyme T4 and ATP together with the DNA to be inserted?
Responda
-
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
Questão 26
Questão
A vector must be used because E.Coli cannot take up linear DNA
