Question
Consider the experiment conducted by Meselson and Stahl in which they used 14N and 15N in cultures of E. coli and equilibrium density gradient centrifugation. Draw pictures to represent the bands produced by bacterial DNA in the centrifuge tube before the switch to medium containing 14N and after one, two, and three rounds of replication in that medium. Use separate sets of drawings to show the bands that would appear if replication were (a) semiconservative; (b) conservative; (c) dispersive.

- Calculate the transformation efficiency of an experiment conducted using 10ul of 0.005 ug/ul plasmid, you plated 100ul out of a total volume of 500ul and the count of transformed colonies was 186.arrow_forwardSuppose a researcher conducts matings between three Hfr bacterial strains and an F− strain. The table shows the order in which genes are incorporated for each strain. Determine the gene order of the chromosome by placing each gene on the outside of the circular chromosome map. Identify the origin of replication for each Hfr strain on the inside of the map to indicate polarity of the origin.arrow_forwardYou have two tubes, each with a pair of DNA fragments inside them. Tube #1 has fragments that are 500bp and 1000 bp in length. Tube #2 has fragments that are 7500bp and 8000bp in size. If you were to perform agarose gel electrophoresis and run the contents of each tube in two separate lanes on the same gel, what would you expect to see? O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was much greater than the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2. O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was the same as difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2. O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was much less than the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2. O It is not possible to estimate what we would expect to see.arrow_forward
- Can you please help with 1c please picture with 1 graph is for question 1a) picture with 4 graphs is for question 1b) 1a) E. coli DNA and binturong DNA are both 50% G-C. If you randomly shear E. coli DNA into 1000 bp fragments and put it through density gradient equilibrium centrifugation, you will find that all the DNA bands at the same place in the gradient, and if you graph the distribution of DNA fragments in the gradient you will get a single peak (see below). If you perform the same experiment with binturong DNA, you will find that a small fraction of the DNA fragments band separately in the gradient (at a different density) and give rise to a small "satellite" peak on a graph of the distribution of DNA fragments in the gradient (see below). Why do these two DNA samples give different results, when they're both 50% G-C? 1b) If you denatured the random 1000 bp fragments of binturong DNA that you produced in question 1a by heating them to 95ºC, and then cooled them down to 60ºC…arrow_forwardYou are analyzing the intracellular DNA intermediates formed during the replication of the single-stranded (ss) DNA phage M13.

- What is the role of GelRed® in Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments? Please select the single answer that is most correct GelRed® moves down the agarose gel in response to the electric current and enables visualisation of the position of A the nucleic acids within in the agarose gel. GelRed® intercalates with the Nucleic acid and, under UV light, fluoresces to enable visualisation of the position of the nucleic acids in the agarose gel. GelRed® intercalates with the Nucleic acid and enables visualisation of the position of the nucleic acids in C the agarose gel.
