Chapter 5, Problem 2Q
Summary Introduction
To review:
The result of experiment if protein synthesis of mammalian cell is inhibited at the same time as they were inoculated with the virus carrying gene for fusion protein.
Introduction:
There are many molecules that are able to inhibit protein synthesis in a cell. Antibiotics such as erythromycin and chloramphenicol inhibit protein synthesis. For example, chloramphenicol inhibits peptidyl transfer activity of the ribosome.

In a genetics lab, Kim and Maria infected a samplefrom an E. coli culture with a particular virulent bacteriophage. They noticed that most of the cells werelysed, but a few survived. The survival rate in theirsample was about 1 × 10−4. Kim was sure the bacteriophage induced the resistance in the cells, whileMaria thought that resistant mutants probably alreadyexisted in the sample of cells they used. Earlier, for adifferent experiment, they had spread a dilute suspension of E. coli onto solid medium in a large petri dish,and, after seeing that about 105colonies were growingup, they had replica-plated that plate onto three otherplates. Kim and Maria decide to use these plates totest their theories. They pipette a suspension of thebacteriophage onto each of the three replica plates.What should they see if Kim is right? What shouldthey see if Maria is right?
What is reproductive cloning? Are identical twins in humansconsidered to be clones? With regard to agricultural species, whatare some potential advantages to reproductive cloning?
What would happen in the experiment illustrated in Figure if the DNA and RNA that are mixed together came from very different organisms, for example a worm and a pig?

- The following diagram outlines how the process of cloning a sheep was accomplished. Cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical copy of another individual. With Dolly, the first cloned mammal, an egg cell was removed from a donor (B) and the nucleus was removed from the egg cell. Then cells from a sheep's mammary gland were removed from a second donor (A). The nucleus of one of the cells from the mammary gland was fused with the enucleated egg cell using an electrical pulse. The fused cell underwent cell division and at the blastocyst stage was implanted into a surrogate mother sheep. The fused cell is cultured and is implanted as a multi-celled embryo.
