An individual is heterozygous for an allele. Allele A has a SNP that results in disruption of an Not1 restriction enzyme site. Allele B has a functional Not1 restriction enzyme site. PCR is performed on the region of the gene containing the SNP to produce a 255bp PCR product. Restriction digestion was subsequently performed using EcoR1 restriction enzyme and the fragments were electrophoresed on an agarose gel. (EcoR1 cuts allele B at a site 115bp from the end of the sequence.) What are the sizes of the subsequent DNA fragments?
1) 115bp + 140bp
2) 205bp + 255bp
3) 140bp

- Tailed primer can have restriction enzyme sites. True Falsearrow_forwardA newly discovered insect has a genomic DNA that does not contain any repetitive DNA or any intronic regions. The insect’s genomic DNA has been treated with the restriction enzyme EcoRI. One of the fragments (with a length of 4 kb) produced in this manner is isolated and ligated into a pUC19 plasmid vector that has also been treated with EcoRI. This recombinant construct is called plasmid A. Samples of plasmid A, pUC 19, and the total genomic DNA from the insect are digested completely with the restriction enzyme EcoRI. The three digests are loaded into separate wells: plasmid A (lane 1), pUC19 (lane2) and total insect genomic DNA (lane 3) of an agarose gel and subjected to electrophoresis. 2b. Draw what will be seen in each lane if the gel is transferred to a membrane and subjected to Southern blotting and the 4000 base pair genomic DNA fragment (labeled with a fluorescent tag) from the insect is used to probe the blot.arrow_forwardAnswer the question in the photoarrow_forward
- Competent E. coli cells were transformed with the pGLO plasmid. These transformed cells were then allowed to grow on two different plates: 1) a plate containing LB/AMP and 2) another plate containing LB/AMP/ARA.

- The gel below shows results for the bitter tasting SNP analysis from a CH306 class from a few years ago. Analyze the results and annotate the gel to indicate the bitter tasting ability and homozygous/heterozygous status of each of the individuals represented on the gel. There are three lanes of markers, and the first non-maker lane on the left of the gel is an uncut control PCR product (i.e. there are a total of 10 individuals on the gel starting in lane 3).arrow_forwardA more modern molecular technique to RFLP fingerprinting is called Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs). In AFLP analysis, restriction enzymes are again used to digest genomic DNA into multiple fragments. Next, adapters complementary to restriction site overhangs are ligated to the fragments using an enzyme called DNA ligase. These adapters are complementary to primers used to amplify the fragments using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Can you think of any potential benefits of AFLP analysis over RFLP? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardTitled “Techniques utilized to generate a genetically engineered organism and confirm gene disruption.” a.
