Summary Introduction
Introduction
The gel electrophoresis method is used to separate the genetic material or PCR amplified products based on their molecular size, shape, and electrical charge. This technique helps to identify and isolate genes of interest or DNA fragments. Such DNA sequences are used to insert into donor organisms through vectors to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or serve as a template for PCR amplification or construction of the gene library. The electrophoresis technique is involved to evaluate PCR samples for clinical or genetic diagnosis. Also, it is used for the separation of restricted DNA or RNA samples before transfer in Southern blotting or Northern blotting, respectively.

- What is the difference between a proto-oncogene and an oncogene? Group of answer choices 1. These are two categories of genes. Proto-oncogenes are genes that fight cancer, oncogenes are genes that cause cancer. 2. Proto-oncogenes are naturally occurring genes in the human genome, while oncogenes come from viruses that cause cancer. 3. These are alleles of the same gene. Proto-oncogenes are wildtype alleles, and oncogenes are cancer-causing alleles.arrow_forwardMULTIPLE CHOICE 1. What enzyme that function for cutting a DNA? A. Nuclease B. Ligase C. Primase D.

Recombinant protein is produced by a genetically engineered strain of Escherichia coli during cell growth. The recombinant protein can be considered a product of cell culture even though it is not secreted from the cells; it is synthesized in addition to normal E. coli biomass. Ammonia is used as the nitrogen source for aerobic respiration of glucose. The recombinant protein has an overall formula of CH1.5500.31N..25. The yield of biomass (excluding recombinant protein) from glucose is measured as o.48 g/g; the yield of recombinant protein from glucose is about 20% of that for cells. How much ammonia is required? What is the oxygen demand? If the biomass yield remains at 0.48 g /g, how much different are the ammonia and oxygen requirements for wild-type E. coli that is unable to synthesize recombinant protein? а. b. с. 24°C 08:39 Berawan 27/04/2022arrow_forwardNo plagiarism i will double check If you want helpful rating submit a handwritten cursive answer tnx 2)Is liquid chromatography one of the current analytical methods in detecting porcine gelatin?Explain why.arrow_forwardDO NOT COPY ANSWER AUTO DOWN VOTE.
