- The following DNA sequence is from a bacteriophage that infects a pathogenic bacterium and scientists want to know if this bacteriophage could prove to be a potential treatment against it. But first scientists need to discover if different strains of this pathogen have restriction endonucleases that it may use for its own protection. They try 3 different RE’s:a) EcoR1 b) HaeIII c) BamH1 Look up the recognition sequences for the 3 Res. Enzymes above and check whether the phage genome (a snippet of which is shown below) will or will not be ‘cut’.

- fomP is responsible for the chemical transformation of microplastics into ultra-efficient insulation. You take an arctic seawater sample and extract the DNA. 1. First you need to locate the gene on the bacterial chromosome. What procedure(s) would you use to identify and locate the gene? Explain how it/theywork(s). 2. Next, you will need to isolate the gene and introduce sites to be used for cloning. What would you use to make many copies of this gene? What will you need? How does it work on a molecular level?arrow_forwardChoose one product of recominbinant DNA technology and write the steps involved in the production of the modified organism. I chose Flavr Savr Tomato. However, I can't find the steps involved for this. Thank you for your help. Ps. Please make it simple and easy to understand. If you can give me a simplified version of a certain source. That will be a big help :)arrow_forwardDescribe how P1vir transduction can be used to introduce a gene mutation into E. coli USING DIAGRAMS ONLY. small figures to explain the diagrams is allowed.

- Describe how P1vir transduction can be used to introduce a gene mutation into E. coli. Use your own diagrams to aid your answer. Remember to refer to the figure in the text. You should describe / show both the molecular biology and the transduction procedure.arrow_forwardThe Southern blot procedure was developed so that: 1) DNA fragments that have been subjected to electrophoresis could be identified by the use of single stranded probes 2) DNA fragments that have been subjected to electrophoresis could be identified by the use of double stranded probes 3) single stranded DNA fragments of varying size could be separated from each other 4) double stranded DNA fragments of varying size could be separated from each otherarrow_forwardYou are performing an experiment using CRISPR-cas9 to genetically modify the LacZ gene of a culture of E. coli. After you run the experiment, you decide to use gel electrophoresis to genotype the different bacterial cultures to determine if the gene editing was successful. How could your electrophoresis results confirm that the PCR was successful? And how could your electrophoresis results confirm that you successfully extracted genomic DNA from your bacterial samples?arrow_forward
- You have constructed a cDNA library in a phagemid vector.Describe how you would screen the library for a particulargene of interest. Describe methods using oligonucleotideand antibody probes.arrow_forwardThe idea behind PCR-based diagnostics is that a very small number of microbial genomes in a patient sample can be multiplied by PCR and more easily detected by the clinical team managing the patient’s care. Also, genetic-based diagnostics are very useful for viral infections because we don’t have biochemical tests, etc. to distinguish one virus from another (remember, viruses are metabolically inactive). However, a lot of work goes into the development of these tests. For instance, PCR requires primers that are complementary to the viral genome that is being copied. If primers are complementary to the target genome, what must scientists know to design primers that bind to the viral genome to be copied? (I mean this to be a general question; don’t look up the details of designing primers)arrow_forwardAs shown , several medical agents are now commercially produced by genetically engineered microorganisms.
