Chapter 17, Problem 17.3PS

More DNA Replication. The following are observations from five experiments carried out to determine the mechanism of DNA replication in the hypothetical organism Fungus mungus. For each experiment, indicate whether the results support (S), refute (R), or have no bearing (NB) on the hypothesis that this fungus replicates its DNA by the same mechanism as that known for E. coli. Explain your reasoning in each case.

(a) Neither of the two DNA polymerases of F. mungus appears to have an exonuclease activity.

(b) Replicating DNA from F. mungus shows discontinuous synthesis on both strands of the replication fork.

(c) Some of the DNA sequences from F. mungus are present in multiple copies per genome, whereas other sequences are unique.

(d) Short fragments of F. mungus DNA isolated during replication contain both ribose and deoxyribose.

(e) F. mungus cells are grown in the presence of the heavy isotopes 15N and 13C for several generations and then grown for one generation in normal (14N, 12C) medium; then DNA is isolated from these cells and denatured. The single strands yield a single band in a cesium chloride density gradient.

Please help me solve this problem. I am really having a hard time understanding this lesson. Please help. Kindly provide all the necessary information to this problem. Thank you! Please answer numbers 1-5 determine what amino acid will be formed from the given  DNA strand below:                          3’   T   A  C   A   T   G   C   C   G   A   A   T   G   C   C   5’ Note: Prepare the partner strand of this DNA.  Discuss how will replication happen by mentioning the enzyme needed then transcribe to form mRNA.  Discuss what will happen to mRNA, then translate, mentioning the anticodon to be used. Look at the genetic code to know what amino acid will become part of the polypeptide chain.  1.  Partner DNA strand 2. the mRNA strand 3. The tRNA  4. the formed amino acids  5. the discussion of the entire procedure
please help me with this question. As this is a non-directional cloning, recombinant plasmids can contain an insert ligated into the vector in two different orientations. Provide two diagrams to illustrate the two potential recombinant plasmids, with the inserts ligated in opposite orientations. Include all RE sites and distances between sites on the diagram.
True or False. Explain. A) At no time during protein synthesis does an amino acid make direct contact with the mRNA being translated. B) Because the two strands of DNA are complementary, the mRNA of a gene can be synthesized using either strand as a template.
