Below is a picture of DNA fingerprints of eight members of thể Khlght family. Individuals 4, 6, and 8 have Jenkins neuromuscular disorder. The other family members do not have the disease. Is there a particular fragment of DNA that is associated with individuals who have the disease? If so, which one is it? *

The text stated that molecular biologists have developed elegant techniques that can convert any type ofDNA end into any other type of DNA end. In thisproblem, consider genomic DNA that is broken bymechanical shearing into random pieces. Some of theends of these pieces are blunt, some have 5′-overhangs, and others have 3′-overhangs.a. Must the two ends of any one genomic DNAfragment be of the same type?b. Explain why the ends with 5′ or 3′ overhangs arenot sticky.c. Researchers can convert ends with overhangs intoblunt ends using either DNA polymerase (plus thefour dNTPs), or nuclease S1, which degradessingle-stranded regions of DNA but not doublestranded regions. Which kinds of ends with overhangs (5′ or 3′) could be converted into blunt endsusing DNA polymerase? With S1 nuclease?
