Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the given twist number and writhe number, the linking number is to be calculated .
Concept introduction:
Circular DNA generally undergoes super coiling in order to fit itself inside a smaller space like a cell. Plasmids are the number of extra chromosomal material found inside bacterial cells. They are generally found in super coiled state.
(b)
Interpretation:
The writhe number is to be calculated based on the twist number and the linking number.
Concept introduction:
Circular DNA generally undergoes super coiling in order to fit itself inside a smaller space like a cell. Plasmids are the number of extra chromosomal material found inside bacterial cells. They are generally found in super coiled state.

- Plasmid Mapping (what is it? why is it important?).arrow_forwardYou have another circular plasmid. Complete and effective digestion of this plasmid with a restriction enzyme yields three bands: 4kb, 2kb, and 1 kb. In comparing the band intensity on an ethidium bromide-stained gel, you notice that the 4 kb and the 2 kb bands have the exact same brightness. The 1 kb band is exactly one fourth as bright as each of these. (Assume there is uniform staining with ethidium bromide throughout the gel.) How many times did the enzyme cut the plasmid? What is the size of the plasmid? Justify your answers to a and b above using a clearly labeled diagram showing the relative location of the cut-sites on the plasmid.arrow_forwardPlease answer this asap. Thanks, You have discovered a new plasmid RK21 in a unique bacterial community. As a first step towardunderstanding this plasmid, you digest the plasmid with three restriction enzymes: SspI, XhoI andSmaI. You run the digested plasmid DNA on an agarose gel, along with an uncut sample of theRK21 plasmid DNA as a control.Unfortunately you forget to load a DNA ladder, and obtain the following results. Assumecomplete digestion of all samples or all the digests worked completelyarrow_forward
- Please help me solve this problem. I am really having a hard time understanding this lesson. Please help. Kindly provide all the necessary information to this problem. Thank you! Please answer numbers 1-5 determine what amino acid will be formed from the given DNA strand below: 3’ T A C A T G C C G A A T G C C 5’ Note: Prepare the partner strand of this DNA. Discuss how will replication happen by mentioning the enzyme needed then transcribe to form mRNA. Discuss what will happen to mRNA, then translate, mentioning the anticodon to be used. Look at the genetic code to know what amino acid will become part of the polypeptide chain. 1. Partner DNA strand 2. the mRNA strand 3. The tRNA 4. the formed amino acids 5. the discussion of the entire procedurearrow_forwardneed help. For both question 20.

Please answer the following four questions to the image I attached. 1. You digest both plasmids with BamHI and SacI together (a double digest). What size fragments will result? Please indicate the sizes of the expected fragments in basepairs: The large fragment of pNUT is fragment A. This fragment is expected to be ____ bp. 2. The small fragment of pNUT is fragment B. This fragment is expected to be ____ bp. 3. The large fragment of pPOD is fragment C. This fragment is expected to be ____ bp. 4. The small fragment of pPOD is fragment D. This fragment is expected to be ____ bp.arrow_forward
- Chain termination/Nonsense mutation - no a.a. that corresponds to a new base sequence; results to the appearance of nonsense codon DNA Sequence : TGG GTC CGG CCC AAT 3. What is the new DNA sequence and the corresponding new amino acid sequence When there is a T-substitution in the 14th N-base?arrow_forwardKpnl 4. Plasmid Z has a size of 7 kb, and the map shows Kpnl (K) and Pstl (P) cut sites relative to each other. This plasmid was digested with three different restriction enzymes 2000 bp 3500 bp Kpnl (K), Pstl (P) and Bgll (B) either alone or in combination and the samples run on an agarose gel as shown below. Where does Bgll (B) cut this plasmid ? Does the plasmid have one recognition site or two for Bg|l? Describe the Bgll cut site in this plasmid relative to the Kpnl cut Plasmid Z -7 kb Pstl site. How many bases to the left or right of the Kpnl cut site would you observe the Bgll cut site.
