The map below illustrates three alleles in a genome segment. The alleles differ in the number and location of restriction sequences. Restriction digestion and Southern blotting with the molecular probe whose hybridization location is indicated results in detection of a single DNA
band for each allele.

- DNA samples from four individuals were cleaved with the same MW restriction endonuclease. The DNA fragments were separated by gel clectrophoresis, transferred to a membrane, and hybridized with a 12 kb 10 kb DNA probe complementary to a region between sites C and D (see 8 kb hybridization line). The image of the southern blot shows the labeled DNA bands and 6 kb molecular weight (MW) markers. The lane labels I, II, III, and IV -5 kb correspond to individuals I, II, III, and IV. Assume that fragments such as C-D and C-E are clearly resolved in this gel system. Fragment sizes are as given: A-B is 4 kb, B-C is I kb, C-D is 5 kb, and D-E is 650 bp. Individual I has five cleavage sites (A, B, C, D, and E) for the restriction endonuclease.

The normal wild-type βA allele contains an MstII restriction site; in the mutated sickle-cell βS allele this restriction site has been lost.PCR amplification of part of the gene encompassing the mutation site from a normal unaffected individual results in a product of 110bp. Digestion of the PCR product with MstII and subsequent gel electrophoresis results in a single band of 55bp. How many bands and of what size would you expect to see in individuals who: i) has sickle-cell anaemia (has two βS alleles) ii) carry the disease (sickle cell trait) (has one βS and one βA allele) a.

- The following DNA sequence has been identified and named ‘Gene Z’. It is thought that this sequence codes for a single protein. Design 5’ and 3’ PCR primers that will amplify ONLY the open reading frame of the genes. Give these sequences in a 5’ to 3’ orientation. Include EcoR1 and NotI restriction enzyme recognition sites on the 5’ ends of the 5’ and 3’ primers respectively.arrow_forwardThe map of plasmid pUC19 is shown below. The restriction site coordinate is the position of the 5’base on the top strand of each site sequence. The restriction enzyme sites are in bold type if there is only one site in pUC19. Please list the fragments in order of size, largest to smallest, which will result from a complete digestion by the restriction enzyme PvuII.

- A group of overlapping clones, designated A through F, is isolated from one region of a chromosome. Each of the clones is separately cleaved by a restriction enzyme, and the pieces are resolved by agarose gel lectrophoresis,with the results shown below. There are nine different restriction fragments in this chromosomal region, with a subset appearing in each clone. Using this information, deduce the order of the restriction fragments in the chromosome.arrow_forwardWhich RE can be used to distinguish bacterial strain 1 from strain 2 based on a sample DNA fragment from each strain (as shown below)?

Allele A has a SNP that results in disruption of an Not1 restriction enzyme site. Allele B has a functional Not1 restriction enzyme site. PCR is performed on the region of the gene containing the SNP to produce a 255bp PCR product. Restriction digestion was subsequently performed using EcoR1 restriction enzyme and the fragments were electrophoresed on an agarose gel. (EcoR1 cuts allele B at a site 115bp from the end of the sequence.) What are the sizes of the subsequent DNA fragments? 1) 115bp + 140bp 2) 205bp + 255bp 3) 140bp 4) 205bp + 255bp + 115bp 5) 140bp + 205bp + 255bp 6) 255bp + 115bp + 140bp 7) 115bp 8) 255bp 9) 115bp + 255bp 10) 255bp + 115bp + 140bp + 205bp 11) 140bp + 205bp 12) 205bp 13) 205bp + 115bp 14) 140bp + 255bparrow_forward
- The right-hand column contains descriptions of 5 types of molecular markers. Label each description with the name of the being described.

These sites are identified by restriction enzyme digestion of chromosomal DNA and the use of Southern blotting. Amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) The same as an RFLP except that the site is amplified via PCR instead of isolating the chromosomal DNA. A site in the genome that contains many short sequences that are repeated many times in a row.

The direction of the electrophoresis is indicated by the arrow head. Lane 1 shows the plasmid DNA with no restriction enzyme digestion. Lane 2 shows the plasmid DNA which has been digested by restriction enzyme ECORI. Given the fact that there are only relaxed and supercoiled forms existing in this plasmid, please annotate the bands in Lane 1 on this gel with their supercoiling status (supercoiled or relaxed) and explain why. Then based on the information from Lane 1 and Lane 2, analyze the number of EcoRI cleavage sites on this plasmid. Lane 1 2arrow_forward
