The dideoxynucleosides ddATP, ddTTP, ddGTP, and ddCTP were important in DNA sequencing because they (a) cause premature termination of a growing DNA strand (b) are used as primers (c) cause the DNA fragments that contain them to migrate more slowly through a sequencing gel (d) are notaffected by high temperatures (e) have more energy than deoxynucleotides

During PCR amplification in preparation for DNA sequencing, why were there different colors at the 3’ ends of the fragments produced? (What did these four colors represent?)
During your experiment you analysed only a few of the recombinant clones for the presence of the highly repeated Aluelements. If you wanted to screen for a single-copy gene, you would need to screen a much larger genomic library. Assuming, that you already know the amino acid sequence of unicorn (a species with a similar physiology to humans) insulin, how would you construct a probe which would enable you to use nucleic acid hybridisation to screen a unicorn genomic DNA library for the insulin gene? Hint: you have access to any molecular biology reagents and equipment you might need, such as vectors, enzymes, and DNA sequencers.
What key structural features of the DNA molecule underlie its ability to be faithfully replicated?
What is an Okazaki fragment? In which strand of replicating DNA are Okazaki fragments found? Based on the properties of DNA polymerase, why is it necessary to make these fragments?
What advantages do cDNA libraries provide over genomic DNA libraries? Describe cloning applications where the use of a genomic library is necessary to provide information that a cDNA library cannot.
Which of the DNA polymerases shown in Table have the ability to proofread?
Suppose you are a research assistant in a lab studying dna-binding proteins. you have been given the amino acid sequences of all the proteins encoded by the genome of a certain species and have been asked to find candidate proteins that could bind dna. what type of amino acids would you expect to see in the dna-binding regions of such proteins?
Did Hershey and Chase overcome objections to Avery et al.’s claim that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material? How was the choice of a bacteriophage by Hershey and Chase a way to avoid problems with earlier bacterial transformation experiments?
A researcher sequences the genome of a variety of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. She finds that the bacterial genome is smaller, but that there are more genes for a given number of base pairs in the eukaryotic cells. In other words, there are fewer genes per unit of length of DNA in the eukaryotic cells. What do you predict she will find if she examines the DNA more closely? A. All of the bacterial DNA consists of coding sequences, but this is not true of the eukaryotic DNA. B. There are more repetitive sequences in the eukaryotic DNA than in the bacterial DNA. C. There are densely packed genes in the eukaryotic DNA that were not immediately distinguishable during the first analysis. D. The bacteria have larger quantities of noncoding DNA than the eukaryotic cells.
Suppose that a replicative DNA polymerase had its 3′ exonuclease site 1.5 nm from the polymerase site, rather than the 3.0 nm seen in Klenow fragment. How would this change affect the fidelity of the enzyme? Why? Describe an additional change that could give this enzyme the same fidelity as Klenow fragment while retaining the 1.5-nm inter-site distance.
You have isolated a transposable element from the human genome and have determined its DNA sequence.How would you use this sequence to determine thecopy number of the element in the human genome ifyou just had a computer with an Internet connection?
What is the role of alcohol in extracting DNA? DNA is a polar molecule with an overall negative charge, and as such is not soluble in alcohol, and therefore precipitates. DNA is a polar molecule with an overall positive charge, and as such is not soluble in alcohol, and therefore precipitates. DNA is a non polar molecule with an overall negative change, and as such is soluble in alcohol, and therefore precipitates. DNA is a polar molecule with an overall positive change, and as such is soluble in alcohol, and therefore precipitates.
