- Do the plasmids integrate into the host genome when the AAV is introduced into the patient? Explain.arrow_forwardYou first need to create a plasmid. What are the minimal components necessary to develop this plasmid? In addition to these components, please draw the plasmid. In this illustration, I am looking for the components, the direction of transcription (i.e., the direction the genes will be transcribed), and what should be transcribed last? Also, where would you specifically insert the P. falciparum gene in this plasmid, and why are you checking reading frames in your gene? Finally, please name your plasmid using the correct nomenclature too. You are excited you have this new plasmid; you want to transfect it into P. marinus and provide it as an oral vaccine to laboratory mice. However, even though your supervisor enjoys your enthusiastic attitude, they do not allow you to do this quite yet because all you have is this plasmid. Why doesn’t your supervisor allow you to use the laboratory mouse for this research regarding animal welfare guidelines? Your answer should include the 3 R’s of…arrow_forwardA sample of E.coli cells is transformed with a plasmid containing a transcriptional fusion including the promoter of an E.coli housekeeping gene and the LacZ gene. The transformed cells are plated out on selective medium containing X-gal. Which of the following best describes the likely results. a. Colonies will only be blue if lactose is also included in the growth medium. b. Colonies will only be blue if lactose and glucose are included in the growth medium c. Most of the colonies should turn blue. d. Presence of any white colonies may indicate deletion or mutation of the promoter. e. Both c. and d. are correctarrow_forward
- What would happen to a bacteria that lost a plasmid for antibiotic resistance? Would it still be able to grow in normal growth conditions? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat is it called when F+ cell donates a dna plasmid to F-?arrow_forwardDescribe the relevant features of the F factor (plasmid) that allow it to partake in conjugation.arrow_forward
- describe F plasmidarrow_forwardYou are a graduate student working to construct a single gene knockout library of Leptospiria kirschneri, one the causative agents of leptospirosis. You are looking for single gene mutants which disrupt the bacterium’s spirillum shape to determine what role this rare cellular morphology may play in disease development and progression. Using an appropriate donor strain, you introduce the plasmid shown into L. kirschneri. L. kirschneri is not able to replicate the plasmid. The repeat regions are denoted on the plasmid map as vertical black lines, the transposase is denoted as tnp, and kanamycin kinase is denoted as aph. The larger of the two regions is transposed. Following selection and counter-selection, you isolate several non-spirillum colonies, which you use to infect juvenile piglets. Most of the infected piglets develop leptospirosis. Isolating L. kirschneri from these animals reveals that it has regained its spirillum morphology. What is a likely explanation for this reversion of…arrow_forwarda. Bacteriophage P22 was used in generalized transduction experiments to infect the Salmonella typhimurium donor strains described in the table below. The resulting phage lysates were then used to infect the S. typhimurium recipient strains listed in the table. In each cross, a phenotype was selected for one of the three genetic markers studied (str, aceA, thrA), and then replicates were performed to select the corresponding recombinants for the other two markers. The results are given in the following table: Recipient strain Selected phenotype Selected recombinants Donor strain str thrA aceAt thrA str aceA+ strs thrA+ aceA thrA+ str aceA Str Ace+ Str ThrA ThrA+ ThrA ThrA+ Ace Ace+ str: gene involved in streptomycin resistance, aceA: gene involved in the use of acetate as a carbon source, thrA: gene involved in the biosynthesis of threonine.
