- Which of the following best describes the process of DNA sequencing? a. DNA is separated on a gel, and the different bands are labeled with fluorescent nucleotides and scanned with a laser. b. A laser is used to fluorescently label the nucleotides present within the DNA, the DNA is run on a gel, and then the DNA is broken into fragments. c. Nucleotides are scanned with a laser and incorporated into the DNA that has been separated on a gel, and then the DNA is amplified with PCR. d. Fragments of DNA are produced in a reaction that labels them with any of four different fluorescent dyes, and the fragments then are run on a gel and scanned with a laser. e. DNA is broken down into its constituent nucleotides, and the nucleotides are then run on a gel and purified with a laser.arrow_forwardThese highly polymorphic molecular markers are useful in DNA fingerprinting: (a) plasmid vectors (b) cloned DNA sequences (c) palindromic DNA sequences (d) short tandem repeats (e) complementary DNAsarrow_forwardIf you eat DNA all the time, why aren’t you harmed by it?

- Suppose you have been directed to find new enzymes to use in the breakdown of wood in order to process biofuel (switchgrass, for example). Suppose you wanted to use fungal or bacterial DNA from the environment in order to do so. DNA can be unwound from the double stranded double helix into single strands, amplified, separated on gels by size, stained with dyes. It can be mutated by a variety of means. It can be sequenced. Describe one or more of the ways that you might manipulate DNA towards the stated goal. Relate the technology you plan to utilize to the structure of DNA. (You can break this into multiple posts, as multiple procedures might be used).arrow_forwardIn what fields is DNA technology useful?arrow_forwardThe smallpox virus, which actually has a fairly large genome size for a virus (about 190,000 base pairs), must use which of the following enzymes to replicate its nucleic acid?
