A researcher collected DNA from common morning glory plants and used DNA sequencing to identify the order of nucleotides in the f3 'h gene for each plant. A subset of the sequencing data, which shows the results for two plants, is shown in Figure 1. Plant 1: ATGGCTACCTTA Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 Plant 2: ATGCCTGCCTTA 1l Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 Figure 1: DNA sequencing data for positions 1-12 of the f3’h gene in two plants. Which of the following can be determined from the data in Figure 1? Choose 1 answer: ° CORRECT (SELECTED) Plant 1 and Plant 2 differ in at least two nucleotides of the f3'h gene.

Which of the following can be determined from the data in Figure 1? Choose 1 answer: ° CORRECT (SELECTED) Plant 1 and Plant 2 differ in at least two nucleotides of the f3'h gene. Figure 1 shows a type of DNA sequencing data where each colored peak represents the detection of a single nucleotide in a DNA sequence. According to the data, the nucleotides at positions 4 and 7 in the sequence differ between the plants: Plant 1 has a G and an A, while Plant 2 has a C and a G. So, based on the data in Figure 1, we can determine that Plant 1 and Plant 2 differ in at least two nucleotides of the f3’h gene. @ INCORRECT Plant 1 does not produce a functional F3'H protein, while Plant 2 does. Figure 1 shows a type of DNA sequencing data where each colored peak represents the detection of a single nucleotide in a DNA sequence. Using this data we can see that Plant 1 and Plant 2 have nucleotide differences at positions 4 and 7 of the f3’h gene. But, we need more information about the sequence of the gene in order to determine how this nucleotide difference might affect protein function. @ INCORRECT Plant 1 and Plant 2 have identical genomes. Figure 1 shows a type of DNA sequencing data where each colored peak represents the detection of a single nucleotide in a DNA sequence. Using this data, we can see that Plant 1 and Plant 2 have nucleotide differences at positions 4 and 7 of the f3’h gene. Because of these differences, we know that Plant 1 and Plant 2 do not have identical genomes. @ INCORRECT Plant 1 makes more flowers than Plant 2 does. Figure 1 shows a type of DNA sequencing data where each colored peak represents the detection of a single nucleotide in a DNA sequence. Using this data we can see that Plant 1 and Plant 2 have nucleotide differences at positions 4 and 7 of the f3’h gene. We need more information about the gene to predict whether this change might impact the protein function, and therefore the flower phenotype. Either way, this difference is unlikely to affect flower number because, according to the text, the f3’h gene influences flower color. Way to go! Review related articles/videos. Report a problem
A scientist used laboratory techniques to move Gene X from a bacteria-specific plasmid into a yeast- specific plasmid. To do this, the scientist first used restriction enzymes to digest, or cut, the bacteria- specific plasmid on either side of the gene, which resulted in a mixture of two linear pieces of DNA (Figure 1). Gene X Restriction enzyme digestion fi 1,890 bp I ) 686 bp Figure 1. Diagram showing the bacterial plasmid before and after restriction enzyme digestion (bp = base pairs). The scientist used gel electrophoresis to separate the resulting DNA fragments by size. Then, the scientist cut out the area of the gel containing Gene X in order to purify the gene from the gel. The following diagram shows the digested plasmid DNA as visualized by gel electrophoresis, with various bands labeled A, B, and C. Which of the bands did the scientist cut out in order to isolate Gene X DNA? Choose 1 answer:

A scientist constructs a recombinant bacterial plasmid that contains a gene conferring resistance to the antibiotic kanamycin (kan). The scientist transforms cultures of E. coli bacteria with the recombinant plasmid, then incubates the cultures overnight on plates containing media with kanamycin (kan+) and without kanamycin (kan-). Assuming the transformation protocol was successful, which of the following best predicts the bacterial growth pattern expected after the incubation period? = No bacterial growth = Some bacterial growth ‘P' z = High bacterial growth Choose 1 answer: ° CORRECT (SELECTED) kan+ kan- e | - \ @ INCORRECT kan + kan - (R @ INCORRECT kan + kan - @ INCORRECT kan + kan - RN e el
Researchers can identify the species of an unknown organism using DNA barcoding. During DNA barcoding, researchers amplify and sequence a specific region of an organism’s DNA. Then, they compare the sequence to those from known species in a reference database to find a match. A group of researchers used DNA barcoding to determine if seafood being sold to consumers was labeled as the correct species. The researchers gathered fish samples from local sellers, extracted DNA, and amplified a specific region of the DNA from each sample. To ensure their amplification step worked as expected, the researchers visualized the amplified DNA fragments to verify that they were the expected size. Then, the researchers sequenced the amplified fragments so they could compare those sequences to known species. Which of the following techniques did the researchers most likely use to visualize the amplified DNA fragments? Choose 1 answer: @ INCORRECT DNA sequencing DNA sequencing is used to determine the nucleotide sequence of a stretch of DNA. According to the text, the researchers did sequence the amplified DNA fragments. However, this step did not allow the researchers to visualize the amplified DNA fragments. @ INCORRECT polymerase chain reaction (PCR) PCR is used to amplify, or make many copies of, a DNA fragment. According to the text, the researchers did amplify a specific region of DNA from each sample. However, this step alone did not allow the researchers to visualize the amplified DNA fragments. @ INCORRECT DNA extraction DNA extraction is used to isolate an organism's DNA. According to the text, the researchers did extract DNA from the fish samples. However, this step alone did not allow the researchers to visualize the amplified DNA fragments. ° CORRECT (SELECTED) DNA gel electrophoresis DNA gel electrophoresis can be used to see DNA fragments separated by size. So, the researchers likely used DNA gel electrophoresis to visualize the amplified DNA fragments.
