Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The question that can be asked to determine about the DNA of dinosaur has 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?
g
-S
Knowing this, if a human was exposed to formaldehyde, what enzyme(s) of DNA
replication in vivo would be prevented from doing their job?
True or False. During gel electrophoresis, small DNA fragments are found towards the top of the gel
True
False
True or False. Each time the genome is replicated, half the newly synthesized DNA is stitched together from Okazaki fragments. Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences.

As this is a non-directional cloning, recombinant plasmids can contain an insert ligated into the vector in two different orientations. Provide two diagrams to illustrate the two potential recombinant plasmids, with the inserts ligated in opposite orientations. Include all RE sites and distances between sites on the diagram.arrow_forwardYou have another circular plasmid. Complete and effective digestion of this plasmid with a restriction enzyme yields three bands: 4kb, 2kb, and 1 kb. In comparing the band intensity on an ethidium bromide-stained gel, you notice that the 4 kb and the 2 kb bands have the exact same brightness. The 1 kb band is exactly one fourth as bright as each of these. (Assume there is uniform staining with ethidium bromide throughout the gel.) How many times did the enzyme cut the plasmid? What is the size of the plasmid? Justify your answers to a and b above using a clearly labeled diagram showing the relative location of the cut-sites on the plasmid.arrow_forward
