Complete the following tasks.
You are fresh recruits to a molecular biology laboratory, and your new boss has tasked you to
study mutations in NRAS, a gene that she suspects is involved in cancer pathogenesis.
Task A: Polymerase Chain Reaction Master Mix
Your first task is to isolate and amplify the NRAS gene from CDNA extracted from different
samples through PCR. You will need to run a total of 7 PCRS: 3 normal samples, 3 cancerous
samples, and 1 negative control. To make things easier in the lab, when running multiple
reactions, the components are prepared not individually, but as a master mix-all the
components for multiple reactions are prepared in bulk, except for the template DNA, which is
added separately once the master mix has been distributed into individual tubes,
The table below lists the different components for PCR, the available stock concentrations of these
components, and the needed working concentrations for the PCR itself. Complete the table by
supplying the needed volumes of each component for a single reaction and for the master mix
(the first row has been filled in as an example).
