Question
Chapter 33.3, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To predict: The color representing the most evolutionarily conserved base sequence.
Introduction: Evolutionarily conserved sequences are the sequences of bases that are identical or very similar in different species. These sequences are considered to be found in the primordial gene that gave rise to modern species. These sequences may have some critical function; therefore, they have not changed over evolutionary time.

LK=? Tw= ? Wr=? The CRISPR-Cas9 protein first forms a protein-RNA complex with a guide RNA, and then binds to DNA sequences that match a 20-base target sequence within the guide. When the CRISPR-Cas9 complex binds to DNA, it unwinds about 20 base pairs of the DNA double helix. B- Why is DNA unwinding required for CRISPR-Cas9 protein-RNA complexto recognize target sites?

D- What is the linking number after the CRISPR-Cas9 complex cleaves theDNA?arrow_forwardQ5. 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_forward

Describe the different Steps involved in this technique?arrow_forwardObjective: Get a sense of how genomics, the study of the genome in its entirety,needs to think about how to go about its research. Geonomic DNA is broken up into fragments. The 5’ and 3’ ends of each fragment(a “read”) are sequenced. The sequenced reads are assembled together intocontiguous sequences (“contigs”) based on sequence similarity. The idea is to sequence enough random fragments so that every nucleotide in thegenome is represented on some read. The number of such fragments needed iscalled the coverage, c. The coverage c can be calculated by the formula RL/G, where R is the number ofreads sequenced, L is the average length of a read and G is the total length of thegenome. The units of length are bases (b) or base pairs (bp). Consider a genome whose length is 1000 bp. “Shotgun” sequencing techniquesare applied to the genome, resulting in 20 reads, with an average length of 50 bp.A very important point is that, even though 20 x 50 = 1000, there is no guaranteethat ALL…arrow_forward
