Recall the semi discontinuity in DNA replication. Is it biologically possible for DNA to undergo replication in vivo, without the lagging and the leading strands? In PCR, we also start with an antiparallel strand of DNA. Does this also mean that replication is semidiscontinuous in in vitro replication? PLEASE EXPLAIN COMPLETELY AND NOT JUST COPY PASTE ANSWERS FROM GOOGLE.
Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 The different cells in your body rarely havegenomes with the identical nucleotide sequence.2 In E. coli, where the replication fork travels at 500nucleotide pairs per second, the DNA ahead of the fork—in the absence of topoisomerase—would have to rotate atnearly 3000 revolutions per minute.3 In a replication bubble, the same parental DNAstrand serves as the template strand for leading-strandsynthesis in one replication fork and as the template forlagging-strand synthesis in the other fork.4 When bidirectional replication forks from adja-cent origins meet, a leading strand always runs into a lag-ging strand.5 DNA repair mechanisms all depend on the exis-tence of two copies of the genetic information, one in eachof the two homologous chromosomes

- Calculating Transformation Efficiency Transformation Efficiency is defined as the number of colony forming units (cfu) which would be produced by transforming 1 ug of plasmid DNA into a given volume of competent cells. Transformation Efficiency (TE) = number of cfu/ug DNA You have just transformed 1 ul (100 pg/ul) of control pWasabi (plasmid) DNA into 50 µl of E. coli DH5a by the heat-shock method. You then add 950 µl of SOC medium to outgrow the bacteria. Of this, you plated 50 µl onto a LB plate containing ampicillin. After overnight incubation, you observed that there are 150 colony forming units (cfu) on the plate.

Go look at the model of DNA on the demonstration table. We have been presenting DNA as a straight ladder, but actually it is twisted on itself like a spiral staircase. This shape is called a heliz. Observe The Chromosome Normally DNA exists as loose strands (chromatin) in the nucleus of a cell. This nuclear DNA sends a message (RNA) to the ribosomes where protein and enzymes are synthesized. When stretched out, the length of one DNA molecule in a human cell is almost 4 cm. However, the cell itself is but a tiny fraction of that size. During cell reproduction the DNA must be able to move around. So it shortens its length by tightly coiling up. In doing so, the DNA strands become wider and are visible under a microscope.…arrow_forwardBiological Macromolecules Understanding that DNA replication is semiconservative -pil... 0/5 Julianna The coding (sense) strands of two complete (double-stranded) DNA molecules have the base sequences shown in the table below.
