Let’s assume the linker region of DNA averages 54 bp in length. How many molecules of H2A would you expect to find in a DNA sample that is 46,000 bp in length?
The chromosome of E. coli contains 4.6 million bp. How long will it take to replicate its DNA? Assuming that DNA polymerase III is the primary enzyme involved and that it can actively proofread during DNA synthesis, how many base pair mistakes will be made in one round of DNA replication in a bacterial population containing 1000 bacteria?
A 1% by weight agarose gel is typically used in agarose gel electrophoresis. If you used a 2% agarose gel instead, what would you expect would happen to the migration rate of DNA and why?

- When proteins are separated using native gel electrophoresis, size, shape, and charge control their rate of migration on the gel. Why does DNA separate based on size, and why do we not worry much about shape or charge?arrow_forward(a) What two enthalpic factors stabilize DNA in double-helical form at lowtemperature?(b) What entropic factor destabilizes helical DNA at high temperature?(c) Why is the double-helical structure of DNA stabilized at moderate tohigh ionic strength?arrow_forwardEven in automated sequencing, where you can include all 4 ddNTPs in one reaction, you need to include "normal" dNTPs as well as the ddNTPs - why are these necessary? Why can't you just put in the ddNTPs, since you've got all four of them available to the DNA polymerase?arrow_forward
- In gel electrophoresis, are the DNA fragments attracted to, or repelled from the negative pole of the electric field? The positive pole? Why are these attractions and repulsions important to the process?arrow_forwardConsider the experiment conducted by Meselson and Stahl in which they used 14N and 15N in cultures of E. coli and equilibrium density gradient centrifugation. Draw pictures to represent the bands produced by bacterial DNA in the centrifuge tube before the switch to medium containing 14N and after one, two, and three rounds of replication in that medium. Use separate sets of drawings to show the bands that would appear if replication were (a) semiconservative; (b) conservative; (c) dispersive.arrow_forwardWhat is the concentration of a DNA solution that absorbs 0.812 and 0.463 at 260 and 280 nm, respectively? Is the DNA solution considered to be good quality? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- When DNA replication was investigated by using heavy, N15 DNA to mark the original molecules, and light, N14 DNA to mark the newly synthesized molecules, one band was found in the middle of the centrifuge column after one round of replication, and two bands were found (middle and top of column) after 2 rounds of replication. Imagine that after 1 round of replication 2 bands were found, one at the bottom and one at the top of the centrifuge column. In that case, what model of DNA replication would have been supported? The dispersive model The conservative model The Franklin model The semi-conservative modelarrow_forwardIn experiments using polymerase chain reactions (PCR), it is often more difficult to amplifythrough regions of DNA that are high in GC content versus those regions that are either lower inGC content or are AT-rich. Based on your knowledge of DNA structure, explain why.arrow_forwardRefer to Figure, which presents the Meselson–Stahl experiment. DNA molecules can be denatured by high pH, as well as by heat. Suppose that the CsCl gradient centrifugations were run at pH 12, conditions under which DNA strands separate. Sketch the gradient profiles expected for each of the four samples depicted in the figure.arrow_forward
- The Meselson-Stahl experiment provided strong evidence that DNA replication was conservative, by alternately growing bacteria in medium with heavy 15N and light 14N. If DNA replication were dispersive, what result would Meselson and Stahl have observed after the first round of DNA replication in light nitrogen? Group of answer choices Two bands, one at the location for pure 15N and one at the location for pure 14N. One band, located half way between the locations for pure 15N and pure 14N. Two bands, one at the location for pure 15N and one located halfway between the locations for pure 15N and pure 14N. None of these Three bands, one at the location for pure 15N, one at the location for pure 14N, and one at a location halfway between.arrow_forwardSuppose that a replicative DNA polymerase had its 3′ exonuclease site 1.5 nm from the polymerase site, rather than the 3.0 nm seen in Klenow fragment. How would this change affect the fidelity of the enzyme? Why? Describe an additional change that could give this enzyme the same fidelity as Klenow fragment while retaining the 1.5-nm inter-site distance.arrow_forwardA duplex DNA molecule contains a random sequence of the four nucleotides with equal proportions of each.
