Concept explainers
To examine:
The reason that it is advisable to use reverse transcriptase to create DNA from a mRNA transcript when preparing eukaryotic genes for use in the bacterial cell.
Introduction:
DNA consists of a sequence of nucleotides, which encodes
To determine:
The reason that bacterial cells do not use eukaryotic DNA directly
Introduction:
RNA processing involves splicing followed by cleavage. RNA editing in eukaryotic cells removes the non-coding intervening (intron) sequence from the transcribed RNA and results in the functional protein. This protein regulates the healthy development of the body in a eukaryotic organism.

Microbiology Fundamentals: A Clinical Approach
- Why can’t a researcher use a poly-T primer in a reverse transcriptase reaction that utilizes prokaryotic mRNA as a template?arrow_forwardAlthough many cloning applications involve introducing recombinant DNA into bacterial host cells, many other cell types are also used as hosts for recombinant DNA. Why?arrow_forwardWhy is the detection of post-translational modifications important in proteomics?arrow_forward
- In cloning human DNA, why is it necessary to insert the DNA into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid?arrow_forwardIf you wanted to study the nature of transcription in yeast under aerobic versus anaerobic conditions, how could you use DNA microarrays to accomplish this?arrow_forwardWhat is linker scanning mutagenesis?arrow_forward
- Considering that prokaryote genomes do not have large introns, how is it possible to move a eukaryotic gene into a transformed bacterium, since they lack a spliceosome?arrow_forwardYour cloning vector has restriction recognition sites for two restriction endonucleases, EcorI and BamHI. However, the DNA to be manipulated does not have recognition sites for these two restriction endonucleases. How would you construct a recombinant DNA for the given DNA?arrow_forwardThe gene you are asked to clone is 30,000 bps in length. When you are choosing a suitable Restriction Endonuclease, what criteria about the enzyme can you deduce from the gene length?arrow_forward
- Which of the following sequences, when combined with itscomplement, would be clipped by a restriction endonuclease?a. ATCGATCGTAGCTA b. AAGCTTCGAA c. GAATTC d. ACCATTGGAarrow_forwardWhy is Sanger sequencing sometimes referred to as "dye-terminator" sequencing?arrow_forwardWhy is ligase needed to make recombinant DNA? Whatwould be the immediate consequence in the cloning process if someone forgot to add it?arrow_forward
