In the experiment below, flasks of human fibroblasts are either transfected with a control gene or the v-src gene. After 48 hrs the flasks (Top row) as well as microscope images of cells on surface of flask (bottom row) from the two different experiments are depicted. Which Flask (A or B) is from the v-src transfection? Justify in 3-4 sentences why you drew this conclusion. Flask A Flask B ium

By conducting conjugation experiments between Hfr and recipientstrains, Wollman and Jacob mapped the order of many bacterialgenes. Throughout the course of their studies, they identified severaldifferent Hfr strains in which the F-factor DNA had been integratedat different places along the bacterial chromosome. A sample oftheir experimental results is shown in the following table: A. E xplain how these results are consistent with the idea that thebacterial chromosome is circular.B. Draw a map of the bacterial chromosome that shows the orderof genes and the locations of the origins of transfer among thesedifferent Hfr strains.

An Hfr strain that is leuA+ and thiL+ was mixed with a strain thatis leuA− and thiL−. In the data points shown in the following graph,the conjugation was interrupted at different time points, and thepercentage of recombinants for each gene was determined bystreaking on a medium that lacked either leucine or thiamine.What information do you know based on the question and your understanding of the topic?
In Hershey-Chase experiment, bacteriophages protein coats were tagged with radioactive isotope S-32. These phages were used to infect E. coli cells and the cells were further centrifuged to form pellets. Why was the radioactivity level of S-32 found greater outside the cells compared to the E. coli cell pellets? Explain briefly. If the experiment is repeated in the same manner but this time the phage protein coats are labelled with isotope X and the phage DNA with isotope Y, which isotope’s radioactivity will be found in greater amounts in the E. coli cell pellets after centrifugation? Explain briefly.

Imagine that you are a student in Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase’s lab in the late 1940s. You are given five test tubes containing E. Coli bacteria infected with T2 bacteriophages that have been labeled with either 32P or 35S. Unfortunately, you forget to mark the tubes and are now uncertain about which tubes is which. You performed their blender experiment and got the following results. Which tube out of these 5 contains E. Coli infected with 32P-labeled phage? Explain your answer.
As mentioned in question 2 of More Genetic TIPS, origins oftransfer can be located in many different places on a bacterial chromosome,and their direction of transfer can be clockwise or counterclockwise.Let’s suppose a researcher conjugated six differentHfr strains that were thr + leu + tons str r azis lac + gal + pro + met +to an F − strain that was thr − leu − tonr str s azir lac − gal − pro −met −, and obtained the following results: Draw a map of the circular E. coli chromosome that shows thelocations and orientations of the origins of transfer in these six Hfrstrains.
In the Hershey–Chase experiment, the radioactive label 32P was present inside bacterial cells (i.e., in the pellet), whereas the radioactive label 35S waspresent outside bacterial cells (in the supernatant). What would the researchers have concluded had the reverse been true, that is, if the radioactive label 35S were inside the cells and the radioactive label 32P were outside the cells?
In the "Bacterial Transformation" experiment, why were there no fluorescence bacteria present in the other plates even though these were inserted by the +pGLO plasmid? (Note: Discuss the importance on the addition of ampicillin and arabinose to the medium of the genetically engineered bacteria). Limit your answer to 1-3 sentences only.
In the Hershey Chase experiment, why was the localization of radio-labeled phage of macromolecules in the cytoplasm the reason that the genetic material identity was proved.
