Summary Introduction
Introduction:
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the hereditary material that is present in all the organisms. DNA acts as an organism’s blueprint that gives the instruction for which kinds of proteins each cell should make. Nearly all the cell in a human body contains the same copy of DNA.

If you knew the sequence of a gene in one organism, how could you determine if another organism had a similar gene?
A.
insert the known gene into a vector and use the vector to insert the known gene into the other organism
B.
treat the genomes of both organisms with the same restriction enzyme and compare the patterns of the bands produced with gel electrophoresis
C.
create a hybrid of the two organisms by breeding them and check for mutations
D.
create labeled DNA probes from the known gene and use them to search the genome of the other organism
How is a fusion protein formed?
a. Use CRISPR/Cas9 to remove a portion of the gene of interest, thereby creating a shorter protein
b. Use site-directed mutagenesis to replace one sequence with another
c. Use the yeast two hybrid technique to form a new hybrid protein
d. Use recombinant DNA to ligate a cDNA in frame with another protein coding sequence
