The following question is related to Restriction Enzymes and RFLP.
Using EcoRl, how many fragments were PRODUCED in DNA sequence A?
A.) 2
B.) 3
C.) 4
Would it be possible to use human polymerase for the PCR reaction?
a.
No, because human polymerase does not have the ability to withstand the high temperatures required for the PCR reaction to occur.
b.
No, because human polymerase cannot be extracted from cells to use in a lab setting.
c.
Yes, because we are using human DNA as the template DNA.
d.
Yes, because human polymerase can add bases to a template strand without a primer.

- Please answer these two questions regarding PCR: a) Why do you need to perform PCR on DNA obtained from a crime scene? b) Why so forensic labs analyze non-coding DNA rather than genes?arrow_forwardWhy is it important to use a hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase in PCR? a) Because only hyperthermophiles have DNA polymerases. b) Because hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase is able to resist the saline reaction conditions. c) Because hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase is faster than other polymerases. d) Because hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase is able to resist denaturation at 95℃.arrow_forwardQuantitative PCR differs from regular PCR in that it uses [A] to [B] the amount of [C] in a sample. It cannot quantify [D] unless it is first made into [F]. Match each of the following to its appropriate letter: quantify, cDNA, RNA, DNA or RNA, fluorescence. 1) A 2) B 3) C 4) D 5) E Here are the choices for the questions a) quantify b) RNA c) cDNA d) fluorescence e) DNA or RNAarrow_forward
- Can you help me with this question, please? What are the advantages of qPCR (RT-PCR) compared to conventional PCR? Choose all that apply a. human error is reduced as there are fewer human interactions with the samples b. you can visualize the results as the process is running c. samples can be compared as to the amount of template DNA in the original sample d. more samples can be run in a day by one personarrow_forwardChoose the one answer that fits best. Which statement regarding PCR is NOT correct (videos)? a. PCR requires a copy of RNA that serves as a template b. Taq polymerase adds nucleotides to the primers and creates a complementary strand of DNA c. Annealing requires cooler temperatures than denaturation d. Repeated cycles of denaturation, annealing and extending DNA strands creates many identical copies of DNA e. PCR is a quick way of using minute quantities of DNA to create millions of copiesarrow_forwardIf a DNA sample was GC-rich, what would you need to do to adjust your PCR reaction and why?arrow_forward
