Question

Transcribed Image Text:The zebra danios are a new type of pet fish, marketed as Glo-Fish. The fish were
produced by transferring genes from jellyfish (green and yellow fish) and corals (red
fish) into regular zebra danio fish (striped blue and white normally) embryos. Which
of the following statements is true about these fish?
O These fish have recombinant DNA
They have been selectively bred.
They are now photosynthetic
This happens naturally in the wild.

- Some antibiotics inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria, but do not affect synthesis of human proteins that are encoded by nuclear genes. Other reagents inhibit synthesis of proteins that are encoded by human nuclear genes but not of bacterial genes. How could you use these compounds to test which proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome?

Suppose you wanted to use fungal or bacterial DNA from the environment in order to do so. DNA can be unwound from the double stranded double helix into single strands, amplified, separated on gels by size, stained with dyes. It can be mutated by a variety of means. It can be sequenced. Describe one or more of the ways that you might manipulate DNA towards the stated goal. Relate the technology you plan to utilize to the structure of DNA. (You can break this into multiple posts, as multiple procedures might be used).arrow_forward
- One of the key discoveries Avery's work contributed to the discovery of the genetic material was that enzymes that break down DNA made the tranforming principle inactive. Enzymes that break down proteins or RNA had no effect on the transforming material. True Falsearrow_forwardWhy is it easier to identify spontaneous mutations in bacteria than in most eukaryotes? The mutations occur at a much higher frequency. Because bacteria have smaller genomes. The mutations can be induced via exposure to the bacteriophage. The mutations are expressed directly in descendant cells because bacteria are haploid. The mutations are visible as color changes within a bacterial colony.arrow_forwardexplain this cactus mutationarrow_forward
