To determine whether these viruses could cause cancer, the student infected human cells with each of the viruses and then transfered the infected cells to nude mice to see if the viruses would cause formation of tumors. The student was able to determine by PCR that both viruses are integrated into the genome of the host cells before transplanting cell in mice. The data for this assay are shown in the figure below. Explain how the mechanism of transduction may be different for these two viruses to yield the observed data (limit 4-5 sentences).

Isolation of target DNA fragments (often referred to as inserts)b. Ligation of inserts into the plasmid, creating recombinant molecules c. Transformation of recombinant plasmids into bacteria or other suitable host for propagationd. Screening/selection of hosts containing the intended recombinant plasmid. For this stage(d), discuss the importance of a second marker that can be used for screening of genomic DNA for colonies containing the pka-1 under the principle of insertional inactivation. This should be properly explained using all the attributes of the plasmid described above.arrow_forward
