Question
Suppose that you are given a short fragment of DNA to sequence. You
amplify the fragment with PCR and set up a series of four dideoxy
reactions. You then separate the products of the reactions by gel
electrophoresis and obtain the following banding pattern:

This helps to mechanically breakdown the tough cellulose cell wall, enabling the detergent of the extraction buffer to break down lipids in the cell membranes. This helps to chemically breakdown the tough cellulose cell wall, enabling the detergent of the extraction buffer to break down lipids in the cell membranes.

It cannot quantify [D] unless it is first made into [F]. Match each of the following to its appropriate letter: quantify, cDNA, RNA, DNA or RNA, fluorescence. 1) A 2) B 3) C 4) D 5) E Here are the choices for the questions a) quantify b) RNA c) cDNA d) fluorescence e) DNA or RNAarrow_forwardCalculate the volume (in µL) of DNA template required to add 60.0 ng to a 40.0 µL PCR if the DNA template is at a concentration of 28.0 ng µL-1.arrow_forward
- We usually think of enzymes as being most active at around 37°C, yet in PCR the DNA polymerase is subjected to multiple exposures of relatively high temperatures and seems to function appropriately at 65–75°C. What is special about the DNA polymerase typically used in PCR?arrow_forwardYou set aside some of your purified PCR product to run on a gel. Name two things we learn by running our DNA on an agarose gel electrophoresis?arrow_forwardPCR is an exponential copying of the template strands and can be represented by the function: y = a * 2n, where a is the initial number of template copies and n is equal to the number of cycles PCR has gone through. How many DNA fragments would be produced after: 15 cycles? 13 cycles with 13 starting template strands? 29 cycles with 32 starting template strands?arrow_forward
- You isolate bacterial DNA from an unknown species, and use a PCR primer that amplifies DNA only from the bacterial genus Staphylococcus. After PCR and gel electrophoresis, you do not see any bands of DNA on your gel.What does this mean?arrow_forwardPCR is a molecular biology technique where template DNA is amplified using a primer and oligonucleotides. The reaction is catalyzed by a thermostable DNA polymerase and in a particular reaction, the template strands are denatured at 95˚C. For strand hybridization, the melting temperature is 55˚C. What do you predict about the average duration of H bonds at the high temperature in comparison to the low temperature?arrow_forward
