There are two tubes: tube 1 and tube 2. They contain the same DNA sample but different concentration isolated from corn chips in a local restaurant. Tube 1 sample has a Ct value of 10 and tube 2 sample has a Ct value of 20. a. Which tube has a higher starting quantity, tube 1 or tube 2? b. The starting quantity in tube 1 is ________(enter a numerical number) fold (choose one: higher or lower) than that of tube 2.

When forensic experts work with a blood sample, what part of it do they use for PCR; red blood cells, white blood cells, or proteinaceous antibodies? If trying to find a tandem repeat segment, why would you pick one choice other another?
What will happen to the concentration and the A260/280 ratio of the DNA sample in the following scenarios? a)Add to low % ethanol. b) Add too little salt. C) Forget to boil the sample
Someone broke into the bookstore and stole thousands of dollars’ worth of textbooks. Some hairs were left behind, from which DNA was extracted. An individual was caught with all five of the stolen textbooks in his bag. He claims his friend gave them to him. You decide to amplify two regions of the DNA (two loci, plural of locus) and digest the samples, and get the following result on the electrophoresis gel.L = Standard marker 1 = Suspect 1 2 = Suspect 2 3 = DNA from crime scene (Note: assume bands that are close in distance traveled are the same length. Higher concentrations of DNA can make a band appear to travel farther.) Which band patterns are similar?

You have been performing a PCR reaction but your results aren't the greatest. Your Supervisor has told you that you should increase the concentration of Magnesium. What affect will this have on the reaction? a. The annealing temperature will not be affected but the enzyme activity will be affected. b. The annealing temperature will decrease. c. The denaturation temparture will have to be increased in the PCR protocol. d. The denaturation temparture will have to be decreased in the PCR protocol. e. The Annealing temperature will increase.
A health provider contacts you regarding a specific patient. They ask you to sequence this patient’s DNA and sends you her blood sample. You split the patient’s blood sample into three equal parts. With each part, you perform three different protocols of DNA extraction and purification. You analyze the resulting DNA using the nanodrop. Protocol A260/280 ng/ul DNA Total volume (ul) 1 2.02 50 60 2 1.45 156 200 3 0.30 300 120 d)Halfway through the electrophoresis of your gel you realized that rather than using a buffer to make up your gel, you actually used distilled water. Do you think this mistake would alter the outcome of your gel electrophoresis? Explain. e) If you added your DNA to a well in a gel without first mixing it with gel loading solution, would this impact the final results? Explain. f) Only after the run you realize that you forgot to add ethidium bromide to the gel. What will happen to your sample? What could you do to the gel after the run?
