Question
Chapter 5, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A rapid technique for producing many different mutations in the given region 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 process of alteration of DNA sequence or base pair of DNA in a normal gene that forms a mutant gene is known as mutation.

You have discovered a new plasmid RK21 in a unique bacterial community. As a first step towardunderstanding this plasmid, you digest the plasmid with three restriction enzymes: SspI, XhoI andSmaI. You run the digested plasmid DNA on an agarose gel, along with an uncut sample of theRK21 plasmid DNA as a control.Unfortunately you forget to load a DNA ladder, and obtain the following results. Assumecomplete digestion of all samples or all the digests worked completely
The structure of a typical pUC19/human DNA recombinant clone. Ensure that you clearly indicate the restriction enzyme sites at the ends of the human DNA insert. Hint: think about the compatibility of the ends generated by partial digestion of human DNA and complete digestion of the vector – will the original sites in the vector be regenerated or not, or it is impossible to predict?
Transforming an Animal
In order to create the transgenic cow, your lab first needs to create a DNA vector containing the
insulin gene. This step involves a considerable amount of scientific terminology. Make sure you
understand the meaning of key terms. Match the following terms with their correct definitions.

- Now you have the gene sequence. Now you would like to clone it into an expression vector to grow up in a bacterial system. Because you're going to use bacteria to generate protein from a eukaryote, the mammoth, you need to get rid of introns from your sequence. How do you do that? Bioinformatically, I look for splice-site sequences and branch-point adenines and predict intron-exon boundaries I use a comparative genomic approach and use sequence homology with the genome of a closely related species I use a comparative genomic approach and use sequence homology with the genome of a distantly related species Both A and B Both B and C Why did you bother to identify the introns? So that I could include them in the sequence to understand intron function. So that I could exclude them from the sequence because prokaryotes don't have spliceosomal machinery. So that I could see how introns affect protein folding.arrow_forwarda. What sequence information about a gene is lackingin a cDNA library?b.

Explainarrow_forwardE17. Gene mutagenesis is also used to explore the structure and function of proteins. For example, changes can be made to the coding sequence of a gene to determine how alterations in the amino acid sequence affect the function of a protein. Let's suppose that you are interested in the functional importance of a particular glutamic acid (an amino acid) within a protein you are studying. By site-directed mutagenesis, you make mutant proteins in which this glutamic acid codon has been changed to other codons. You then test the encoded mutant proteins for functionality. The results are as follows: Functionality (%) Normal protein 100 Mutant proteins containing Тугosine Phenylalanine 3 Aspartic acid 94 Glycine From these results, what would you conclude about the functional significance of this glutamic acid within the protein?arrow_forward
