Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1COQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: An experiment to demonstrate that tetracycline resistance is an inherited trait carried in the DNA of the resistant strain.
Introduction: A trait exhibited by some bacterial strains is resistance to antibiotics. For example, certain strains of bacteria are sensitive to tetracycline while some bacterial strains are resistant to it. Tetracycline is an antibiotic. It is used for the treatment of bacterial infections.

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?
If you mutated once per year, there could be 40 changes, but this is unlikely. Why? (Hint: Consider what natural processes we are simulating.)
Q. How can you design your RT-PCR experiment to control for gDNA contamination?
A. Use forward and reverse primers that bind to the same exon.
B. Run a control lane where only RT was performed and not PCR.
C. Run a control lane where mRNA has been amplified using PCR.
D. Use forward and reverse primers that span the junction of 2 separate exons.

In lab 6, you will set up a PCR reaction to yield amplified DNA products of the rpo B(RNA polymerase B) and 16s rRNA genes. In lab 7, you will set up a sequencing reaction using about 40 ng of these PCR products that you will then add a sequencing primer to the sequencing reaction. If a sequencing reaction is set up with a 100-fold excess of primer to the PCR-amplified DNA product you want to sequence, calculate the number of sequencing primers you will need to add to this sequencing reaction. To perform this calculation, assume your 40 ng sample of double stranded DNA is 4,000 base-pairs (bp) long. Using these two variables of your PCR product [length (in bp) and amount (in g, grams)], you can calculate the number of DNA molecules being sequenced with two conversion factors using the formula below: The average weight of 1 bp is approximately ~650 (g/mole)/bp Avogadro’s number which is 6.02 X 1023 molecules/mole The easiest way to solve this problem is to figure out how much one…arrow_forward
