Chapter 11, Problem 15P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The two people that have diploid genotypes from which one can identify three different haploid sequences.

Introduction:

The polymerase chain reaction is a method which is used to make multiple copies of a specific DNA segment. By using PCR, one can produce thousands to millions of copies of that particular DNA segment. It exponentially amplified the given sequence.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The genotype of a person whose somatic genomic DNA was amplified by PCR which does not contain any of the given sequences along with its justification.

Introduction:

There are two types of cells present in all living organisms. These are somatic cells and germ cells. The germ cells are the reproductive cells which produce sperms and egg cells. All the other cells in the body are somatic cells.

The temperature at which the primers and target DNA hybridize may be changed to influence the stringency of PCR amplification. What effect will changing the hybridization temperature have on the amplification? Let's say you have a certain yeast gene A and want to check whether it has a human equivalent. How might managing the hybridization's rigor benefit you?
a) Primers can sometimes bind and target the wrong gene, especially if the primers are allowed to bind to the DNA strands at a low temperature. PCR also preferentially amplify short segments of DNA.  Would it be important to actually run the cDNA after the PCR on a DNA gel in order to check for a PCR product of the predicted size for the insulin gene? Why or why not?
