Question
Chapter 28, Problem 13WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reasons due to which researchers need additional DNA samples for the interpretation of the results.
Introduction:
Sweet substances can cause tooth decay. The growth of bacteria on teeth can cause plaque in teeth. Research studies may be useful to analyze the nature of bacteria that can cause tooth decay.

Humans perfected the use of recombinant DNA technology to produce human insulin from bacteria. Outline steps in this process of using E. coli as to host cells.
In a campus-wide screen for microbes, you find DNA from the bacterial species that causes the bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis. You take the sample back to the lab, and try to grow (very carefully), but can't culture the organism. Provide two possible explanations for why you can't grow this sample in the lab.
Read the research abstracts and answer the following questions.
a) What is the objective of the study?
b) What type/s of data were used in the study?
c) What were the results?
d) Did the researchers employ a combination of morphological and molecular data to determine
evolutionary relationships of organisms?

- From what Human Remains may it be possible to recover DNA?arrow_forwardFollow these directions to access the entries for PTGS1 and PTGS2 in the “Gene” database at the NCBI Website:A. First, go to the NCBI homepage using the link on the lab webpage, or by going to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Select “Gene” from the database pulldown menu. Type “PTGS” in the search box, then click “Go.” Scan the results for the “Homo sapiens” entries. There should be one called “PTGS1” and one called “PTGS2.” Select each entry by clicking on its name, then read the paragraph under the “Summary” section for each entry. The drug Celebrex selectively inhibits PTGS2 while aspirin and other NSAID’s inhibit both PTGS1 and PTGS2 in the same way. Why do you think researchers wanted to discover a selective inhibitor to PTGS2? 2. Describe how studying 3-D structures of PTGS1 and PTGS2 could help researchers design a drug that binds to PTGS1, but not to PTGS2.arrow_forward25) Identify the most correct choice: a) ribosomes are the membrane bound organelles responsible for making proteins from RNAs. b) In gene therapy, Agrobacterium is the bacteria that transfers genetic material into the human cells that contain the mutated gene. c) spectrophotometer analysis can be used to detect the concentration of the dead cells in a solution only and not those that are living. d) None of the above.arrow_forward
