Gene cloning is a process in which a gene of interest is identified and made into multiple copies.
Illustrate the steps in gene cloning using Escherichia coli as the host cell after PCR has been
carried out to amplify a gene of interest.
Cloning is a general term used for whole organisms and DNA sequences. Define what we mean when we say we have a clone.
Explain why the precise length of the template DNA sequence does not become amplified until the third cycle. Draw a picture that explains your answer.

- Explain what restriction enzymes are, how they function and how they can be used to make recombinant DNAarrow_forwardDescribe how restriction enzymes like EcoR1 are used to create recombinant plasmids and what the process is for using these plasmids to replicate a piece of target DNA. Include information about how to create sticky ends, the makeup of the bacterial plasmid and how to tell if the gene was successfully inserted in the plasmid and if the plasmid has been transformed by the bacteria. You may use a drawing to enhance your description.arrow_forwardTransgenic bacteria can be used to make an alanine rich (GM) plant. Explain how bacteria can be used to produce large amounts as a cheap source of protein. Your explanation will include the role of: Restriction enzymes, plasmids, recombinant DNA, and bacteria.arrow_forward
- See the restriction enzyme map below. The total DNA length is 1800 base pairs. If this DNA is cut using three restriction enzymes, namely Kpnl, Sall and EcoRI, it yields four fragments with sizes of 390 bR. 810 bp, 270 bp www and 330 bp. Kpnl Sall EcoRI 390 810 270 330 1800 bp 1. If you were to subject this digested DNA to agarose gel electrophoresis, what would your gel look like? Draw a detailed picture of your gel. Remember to indicate the direction in which your DNA is moving and also show any reference samples. Also remember to show all components of your gel. 2. You are provided with coiled DNA and plasmid DNA that you subject to gel electrophoresis. Draw this gel. Remember to indicate the direction in which your DNA is moving and also show any reference samples. Also remember to show all components of your gel. Exac fragment sizes are not important.arrow_forwardA restriction enzyme digests DNA into fragments.term the technique used to check the progression of this enzyme and separate DNA fragments.arrow_forwardBiotechnology There are several different tools used to study or manipulate DNA. Match the description to the technology. NOTE: If you want to change your selection, you'll need to delete the one you already chose. After you delete it, the list of choices will pop back up and you can make a different choice.
