Chapter 19.5, Problem 1CS
Gene Transfer Between Bacteria
Core Skill: Connections Look back at Figures 11.1 and 11.2. How did the phenomenon of transformation allow researchers to demonstrate that DNA is the genetic material?
Figure 11.1 Griffith’s experiments showing that genetic material can be transferred from one bacterium to another. Note: To determine if a mouse’s blood contained live bacteria, a sample of blood was also applied to solid growth media. (This part of the procedure is not shown.) For steps 1 and 4, smooth bacterial colonies were observed. For step 2, no bacterial colonies were observed because the type R cells were killed by the immune system of the mouse.
Figure 11.2 The Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty experiments that identified DNA as Griffith’s transformation principle—the genetic material.

Guide Questions: Explain your answer and cite references in APA format. 1. What does mashing do to the fruit? 2. Why did you add detergents? 3. What do you think the ethanol does? Why can't we use room temperature ethanol? 4. To extract DNA from cells, what must you isolate it from in the case of a plant such as strawberry? 5. Look at your container, what do you see in the top portion of the liquid? 6. Is the DNA you extracted is pure? What are the possible impurities? 7. What can we do with the DNA once we have purified it? Discuss different techniques and technologies associated with this. 8. Imagine that there is an E. coli outbreak in your area, and you would like to test the kangkong from your local grocery store. How could you modify this protocol to extract DNA from the kangkong (to identify the species) and check for presence or absence of E. coli.? Keep in mind that (i) E. coli is free-living and not an endosymbiont, and (ii) plant cells are encased in both a cell membrane and…

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_forwardEnhancement Questions: What do you think are the crucial steps in Polymerase Chain Reaction technique?
