Question
In the Hershey–Chase experiment, the radioactive label 32P was present inside bacterial cells (i.e., in the pellet), whereas the radioactive label 35S was
present outside bacterial cells (in the supernatant). What would the researchers have concluded had the reverse been true, that is, if the radioactive label 35S were inside the cells and the radioactive label 32P were outside the cells?

- A fluctuation test was carried out to determine the rate of mutation to Azetidine resistance (a toxic proline analog) in S. typhimurium. Twenty tubes of rich medium were each inoculated with a few wild-type cells and the cultures were grown to 10° cells / ml. A 0.1 ml sample of each culture was then plated on each plate (a total of 20 plates) to detect AztR mutants. The results are shown in the following table. Calculate the mutation rate of S. typhimurium to AztR. Culture # # AztR mutants Culture # # AztR mutants 11 12 3 4. 13 14 15 4. 30 303 97 69 14 16 17 18 19 20 10 19arrow_forwardIn the alkaline plasmid screen, what two things separate plasmid from chromosomal DNAs?arrow_forwardYou mutagenized bacteria and isolated two mutants that you suspected to be defective in DNA synthesis. You measured incorporation of radioactivity (Y- axis) for various times (X-axis) at two temperatures (30 deg C shown as open circles and 40 deg C shown a filled circles in both figures) for the two mutants of bacteria (left and right figures). The results are shown in the accompanying figure. For the following statement, answer True or False. You can conclude that you have isolated mutants defective in two separate steps of DNA synthesis. 20,000 1,000 30°O 40° 15,000- 10,000- 500 5,000- 0 120 0 Time (min) ³H-thymidine incorporated (cpm) O True ● False 0 40 80 40 80 120arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements best explains why there are fewer colonies on plate IV than on plate III? (a) Plate IV is the positive control. (b) Not all bacterial cells were successfully transformed. (c) The bacteria on plate III did not mutate. (d) The plasmid inhibited bacterial growth. (e) Plate IV is the negative control.arrow_forwardWhy was there a greater A260 absorbance reading for your DNA sample that was incubated at higher temperatures?arrow_forwarda) The neomycin resistant colonies were screened by PCR using the primers A and B. Only seven of the 515 colonies (AB1 – AB7) resulted in the production of a PCR product of the expected size. The remaining 508 colonies failed to produce a PCR product (of any size). Explain why this would have been observed. Note: there is a rational explanation for this other than “the experiment did not work or there was a problem with the reagents”.arrow_forward
