Situational problem: Alkylating agents reagents are mutagenic factors because theycause methylation of guanine in the composition of DNA with the formation ofmethylguanine. Why are these DNA changes dangerous dangerous? What process doyou think is activated in the human body to restore the normal DNA structure? Justifythe answer. Provide appropriate scheme to illustrate the answer.

DNA Profiles as Tools for Identification A PCR-based paternity test is conducted using STRs that consistently produce a unique DNA fragment pattern from a single chromosome. Examining the results of the following Southern blot, which male(s) can be excluded as the father of the child? Which male(s) could be the father of the child?
Functional Consequences of Y-Family DNA Polymerase Structure The eukaryotic translesion DNA polymerases fall into the Y family of DNA polymerases. Structural studies reveal that their fingers and thumb domains are small and stubby (see Figure 28.10). In addition, Y-family polymerase active sites are more open and less constrained where base pairing leads to selection of a dNTP substrate for the polymerase reaction. Discuss the relevance of these structural differences. Would you expect Y-family polymerases to have 3-exonuclease activity? Explain your answer.
Human Genome Replication Rate Assume DNA replication proceeds at a rate of 100 base pairs per second in human cells and origins of replication occur every 300 kbp. Assume also that human DNA polymerases are highly processive and only two molecules of DNA polymerase arc needed per replication fork. How long would it take to replicate the entire diploid human genome? How many molecules of DNA polymerase does each cell need to carry out this task?
Describe the main technique for amplifying a segment of DNA (like the one you suspect is involved in Lee’s cancer) from a complex mixture of genomic DNA. Remember that the entire human genome sequence is known. (Hint: This is a technique that is commonly used by laboratories that do genetic testing and various other applications of molecular biology.)
Please help C. Even in automated sequencing, where you can include all 4 ddNTPs in one reaction, you need to include "normal" dNTPs as well as the ddNTPs - why are these necessary? Why can't you just put in the ddNTPs, since you've got all four of them available to the DNA polymerase?
Mustard gas is an extremely toxic substance that severelydamages lung tissue when inhaled in large amounts. In smallamounts, mustard gas is a mutagen and carcinogen. Considering that mustard gas is a bifunctional alkylating agent, explain how it mutates genes and impacts DNA replication.
Can you help with 1a please HELPFUL INFORMATION: When performing classical Sanger or "dideoxy" sequencing, you set up 4 parallel reactions per template to be sequenced from a specific primer, with each of the four reactions containing a different dideoxynucleotide, and then the four reactions were run in a separate, adjacent lanes on a gel. 1a. Why couldn't you combine all 4 dideoxynucleotides with the primer and the template and do the whole reaction in one tube, and then run the set of fragments produced by the reaction mixture on a single lane in an acrylamide gel?
Mutation: Thiamine Dimers A. what is a mutagen or cellular process that leads to this mutation? B. If the nucleotide excision repair pathway is not functional, is there another pathway or mechanism for preparing this mutation? if so, what is the pathway/mechanism? C. what is the consequence of this mutation if it is not repaired before DNA is replicated to make the next generation of cells?
Preparing plasmid DNA (double stranded, circular) for Sanger sequencing involves annealing a complementary, single-stranded oligonucleotide DNA primer to one strand of the plasmid template. This is routinely accomplished by heating the plasmid DNA and primer to 90°C and then slowly bringing the temperature down to 25°C. Why does this protocol work? What enzyme is used and what other components are required in the sequencing reaction? How does the Sanger method determine the sequence?
During electrophoresis, DNA molecules can easily be separatedaccording to size because all DNA molecules have the samecharge–mass ratio and the same shape (long rod). Would youexpect RNA molecules to behave in the same manner as DNAduring electrophoresis? Why or why not?
Not just generic "degradation" or even shorter DNA fragments, what specific structure change in double-stranded DNA does the hyperchromicity effect show?
Task A: Polymerase Chain Reaction Master Mix Your first task is to isolate and amplify the NRAS gene from cDNA extracted from different samples through PCR. You will need to run a total of 7 PCRs: 3 normal samples, 3 cancerous samples, and 1 negative control. To make things easier in the lab, when running multiple reactions, the components are prepared not individually, but as a master mix—all the components for multiple reactions are prepared in bulk, except for the template DNA, which is added separately once the master mix has been distributed into individual tubes. The table below lists the different components for PCR, the available stock concentrations of these components, and the needed working concentrations for the PCR itself. Complete the table by supplying the needed volumes of each component for a single reaction and for the master mix (the first row has been filled in as an example).
