Summary Introduction
To describe: The possible questions that should be asked about a gene after the disease-causing gene is cloned.
Introduction: A clone can be described as the individuals that share common genetic sequence. The process of the formation of genetically identical cell or organisms is called “cloning.” The cells or individuals from this process are considered as “clones.”

Cloning vectors for E Coli. For each of the following items, describe what it is explain the necessity for each in cloning plasmids that are used for the expression (production) of protein. what would happen if this element was omitted?
The Multiple Cloning Site (MCS)
Origin of replication –

How does that length compare to that of restriction enzymes? Implications?
2. can you conceive of any potential applications of CRISPR technology?
Restriction enzymes in bacterial cytoplasm cut injected bacteriophage DNA wherever certain sequences occur. A bacteria’s chromosome also contains these sequences, and, being suspended in cytoplasm, it is also exposed to the enzymes. Why do you think the enzymes do not cut the chromosome?

This is done using pGLO. The question is: Frequently, experiments do not turn out as expected and good scientists learn how to "troubleshoot" and test possible reasons for unexpected results. Sally's team ran this experiment but observed no colonies on the +pGLO + ampicillin + arabinose plate. List 3 possible reasons for this - and ways that Sally can test whether these are the cause of these experimental results.arrow_forward
