Chapter 13, Problem 29P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The DNA construct that can be used to exchange the yodA gene sequence with the jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP).

Introduction:

The genes are the sequence of nucleotides that are present on the chromosomes and encode for a specific protein that plays a crucial role in the functioning of the different processes in an organism. The gene is located at specific gene loci and can be structural or regulatory in nature.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The non-functionality of yodA gene in E.coli.

Introduction:

Mitotic recombination is considered to be a rare event in which the genetic recombination takes place in the somatic cells. The mitotic homologous recombination occurs typically between the sister chromatids after replication and before cell division.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The approach to keep yodA functional in the presence of the green fluorescent gene.

Introduction:

Auxotrophs are the organisms that lack the nutrient or substrate that is needed for their growth. This organism cannot synthesize such substrate and can only gain it from an external source like a medium.

In Hershey-Chase experiment, bacteriophages protein coats were tagged with radioactive isotope S-32. These phages were used to infect E. coli cells and the cells were further centrifuged to form pellets. Why was the radioactivity level of S-32 found greater outside the cells compared to the E. coli cell pellets? Explain briefly. If the experiment is repeated in the same manner but this time the phage protein coats are labelled with isotope X and the phage DNA with isotope Y, which isotope’s radioactivity will be found in greater amounts in the E. coli cell pellets after centrifugation? Explain briefly.
The lac operon has 4 genes, I, Z, Y and A. For each scenario, tell me the result of the mutation, what would happen if this mutant was in the presence of lactose and why. A) Lac I is mutated/not functional - B) Lac Y is mutated/not functional -
M13 is a filamentous phage that infects the bacterium Escherichia coli. Infection with M13 is not lethal. However, the infection causes turbid plaques in E. coli because infected bacteria grow slower than the surrounding uninfected bacteria. This phage has been engineered to act as a vector system. Explain how the amplification of gene of interest works in this phage with illustration.
