Question
Chapter 5, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The affect of altering temperature of hybridization on the PCR amplification is to be stated. The way by which the controlling of stringency of the hybridization helps an individual is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, is a biological macromolecule. DNA contains double helical strands along with the complementary base pairs. The four complementary bases of DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).
The reaction that is used to make the duplicates of a particular DNA segment is known polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

This is DWA.
You hope to clone an extinct animal species by taking the easy route - using museum bones or
tissues. You extract the DNA and use PCR to amplify, then sequence all segments of the genome
You are unsuccessful. Later you discover that the museum specimens have been treated with
formaldehyde, which forms covalent bonds in DNA, where once there existed H-bonds.
What step in your PCR reaction would be inhibited?

Knowing this, if a human was exposed to formaldehyde, what enzyme(s) of DNA
replication in vivo would be prevented from doing their job?

Multiple Cloning Site
1. Allows the controlled expression of the desired gene in the
presence of an inducing agent (e.g., beta-galactosidase; heat
treatment (~65°"C)
2. DNA sequence or portion for the insertion of the desired gene.
This section may contain sequences that will be cut by
specific restriction endonucleases ( cuts within the molecule)
3. Successful insertion of a gene allows the expression of its
protein product. This usually provides a specific trait to the
"transformed" bacteria.
4. Provides a way to screen a population of bacteria for those
that took up the plasmid. For example, if an ampicillin
resistance gene is encoded in the plasmid, then only bacteria

Pick a plasmid . What was its approximate transformation? Express it in # colonies per microgram of DNA transformed.
Assume the original DNA was about .001 ug/ul . Count how many colonies you got on one plate (or estimate that number) and figure out how much of the total solution you plated on that plate. Multiply by all the plates, if you plated all of it. OR, if you only plated some of it, figure out how many colonies you would have gotten had you plated all of it. Divide by the number of ug used.
