Question
Chapter 7.3, Problem 5TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The synthesis of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in a synchronous culture having antibiotic rifampin.
Introduction:
The enzyme that produces RNA (ribonucleic acid) and catalyzes the initiation and elongation of RNA chain from the DNA template is called RNA polymerase. The enzyme that synthesizes short sequences of RNA called primers is known as a primase. Primase enzyme is present at the starting point for DNA synthesis.

( c) Nitrocellulose can be used to filter out microorganisms from a liquid solution. d) Time to kill a bacterial culture is not proportional to the number of microbes in the culturearrow_forwardThere are 6 parts to this question: This is a follow up to the prior question regarding the replication of the DNA strand below. The DNA strand is here for your reference and you do not need to do anything with or to it. TC GATATCGG AGCTATAGCC c) what enzyme separated the parental DNA template strands, d) what bonds were broken? e) what enzyme replicates DNA f) before DNA can be replicated/copied, what must be laid down to allow the enzyme in "e" to replicated the DNA (be specific)? g) our DNA is replicated in many "pieces", what enzyme connects these many "pieces" into one continuous DNA strand that becomes the sister chromatid? h) during what specific phase of the cell cycle does this DNA replication process occur? (This should be a review question from last topics we covered).arrow_forwardCell cultures can be synchronized, or brought into the same phase of the cell cycle, by various means. For example, adding thymidine to a cell culture causes all cells to become arrested early in S phase. What is the mechanism by which thymidine treatment blocks DNA replication?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is NOT correct concerning the initiation of replication in E. coli? Question 29 options: A) It involves a region of the DNA called oriC. B) DnaA proteins bind to the DNA to begin separation of the strands. C) The strands are initially separated at GC-rich regions of DNA. D) Following initial separation, enzymes continue to separate the parental DNA strands around the rest of the chromosome.arrow_forwardWhich mode of chain growth is catalysed by DNA polymerases in cells?arrow_forwardA DNA strand was sequenced using the Sanger method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTstRrDTmWI). The reaction tube contained the DNA strand, fluorescently labelled dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddATP – yellow, ddGTP – green, ddCTP – blue, ddTTP - red), deoxynucleotide triphosphates, DNA polymerase, or its Klenow fragment. Synthesis of DNA is allowed to proceed, and the results are shown on the right: 15 14 13 12 11 10 (a) What is the sequence of the copy and the template strands? (b) If the template strand were in the 5'-3' direction, what will be the sequence of the DNA copy? Nucleotide Lengtharrow_forward
- Engineered bacteria are commonly used and cultured in pharmaceutical laboratories to produced drugs like insulin. However, during one instance, with the desire to increase the rate of insulin production, one scientist tried to modify the process and put another substance (chemical x) in the growth medium which is chemically almost the same to the substance (chemical x’) normally put in the medium. After which, the scientist found out that the amount of insulin produced in the medium decreases as compared to the normal production. Again, within the context of our discussion, explain the possible reason for the observed result.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) and Base Excision Repair (BER) is true? Only NER involves the action of DNA ligase to seal nicks in the DNA backbone. Both NER and BER involve DNA strand cleavage by an endonuclease. Both NER and BER can be activated by exposure to visible light. Only BER requires DNA polymerase. Both NER and BER involve the creation of an apyrimidinic (AP) site.arrow_forwardExplain the following statement : a) initiation of bacteriall DNA replication is an energy requiring process b) bacterial DNA polymerase can enter the termination sequence but cannot exisarrow_forward
- You generate several temperature sensitive mutant strains of bacteria. To study what genes might be affected, the mutant strains are cultured along with the normal parental strain at the permissive temperature (37°C) and then shifted at 10 minute intervals to the non permissive temperature (42°C). The only nucleotides in the growth environment are labeled with 32P. The amount of DNA at each step is measured by determining the amount of labeled nucleotides that have been incorporated into the DNA. The numbers refer to the relative amount of labeled nucleotides that have been incorporated. The following results are obtained.(picture) Which strains/strains, if any, has a mutation in a gene required for DNA replication? Explain your experimental predictions and the degree to which the data support/fail to support them.arrow_forwardThe competency of bacterial cells to take up plasmids from the environment can be enhanced by treating them with calcium chloride. Which of the following statements is true regarding this process? Question 23 options: Chloride ions neutralize charges on the phospholipids and DNA. Chloride ions adhere to the cell membrane and calcium ions to the plasmid DNA, thus increasing the attractive force between them. The calcium ions change the structure of the cell membrane and, as a result, the pores are enlarged. Calcium ions neutralize charges on the phospholipids of the bacterial cell membrane and on the DNA of the plasmid. Chloride ions enter the cell through protein pores in the membrane, carrying plasmid DNA with them.arrow_forwardOnce in human cells, which of the following statements might best describe how COVID19 replicates? a) Manipulates DNA Polymerase III to create a leading strand replication of the RNA b) Manipulates DNA Polymerase III to create a lagging strand replication of the RNA c) Manipulates Reverse Transcriptase to transcribe RNA sense strand into DNA antisense strand then back d) Manipulates RNA Polymerase II to transcribe RNA sense strand into RNA antisense strand then back e) Manipulates RNA Polymerase III to transcribe ribosomal RNAs for replicationarrow_forward
