• Kornberg and his colleagues incubated soluble extracts of E. coli with a mixture of dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP, all labeled with 32P in the α-phosphate group. After a time, the incubation mixture was treated with trichloroacetic acid, which precipitates the DNA but not the nucleotide precursors. The precipitate was collected, and the extent of precursor incorporation into DNA was determined from the amount of radioactivity present in the precipitate.a. If any one of the four nucleotide precursors were omitted from the incubation mixture, would radioactivity be found in the precipitate? Explain.b. Would 32P be incorporated into the DNA if only dTTP were labeled? Explain.c. Would radioactivity be found in the precipitate if 32P labeled the or phosphate rather than the phosphate of the deoxyribonucleotides? Explain.

- Need help 1) Say you have an organism with a genome of 1 thousand bases (103) and a forward primer made up of 5 nucleotides (aka, a 5-mer) a)How many possible 5-mers are there? Remember that each position in the 5-mer has one of four nucleotides. b) Pick a 5-nucleotide position at random in the genome: what’s the probability that your forward primer matches there? Focus for now just on one strand of DNA. c) Pick a random 5-nucleotide position in the genome: what’s the probability that your forward primer does NOT match there? Focus for now just on one strand of DNA. d) How many physical locations might your forward primer sit in the genome? Focus just on one strand of DNA.
