Summary Introduction
To describe:
The experiment of Hershey and Chase and to describe why they used phage.
Introduction:
Bacteriophages are the viruses that infect bacteria. They were discovered by Twort and Herelle in 1915. They are also called bacteria eater. They are made up of proteins that cover their genetic material. They grow and increase their number inside a bacterium. They show both the lytic and the lysogenic cycles.

- Q5. In lab 6, you will set up a PCR reaction to yield amplified DNA products of the rpo B(RNA polymerase B) and 16s rRNA genes. In lab 7, you will set up a sequencing reaction using about 40 ng of these PCR products that you will then add a sequencing primer to the sequencing reaction. If a sequencing reaction is set up with a 100-fold excess of primer to the PCR-amplified DNA product you want to sequence, calculate the number of sequencing primers you will need to add to this sequencing reaction. To perform this calculation, assume your 40 ng sample of double stranded DNA is 4,000 base-pairs (bp) long. Using these two variables of your PCR product [length (in bp) and amount (in g, grams)], you can calculate the number of DNA molecules being sequenced with two conversion factors using the formula below: The average weight of 1 bp is approximately ~650 (g/mole)/bp Avogadro’s number which is 6.02 X 1023 molecules/mole The easiest way to solve this problem is to figure out how much one…arrow_forwardAnalyse the data proved.
