Chapter 9, Problem 17P
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The number of genome equivalents to be 95% confident of having a clone containing each gene.
Introduction:
The collection of genomic DNA obtained from one type of organism is referred to as the genomic library. In the genomic library, the specific DNA fragments are present in vectors.

As a molecular biologist and horticulturist specializing in snapdragons, you have decided that you need tomake a genomic library to characterize the flowercolor genes of snapdragons.a. How many genomic equivalents would you like tohave represented in your library to be 95% confident of having a clone containing each gene inyour library?
You are using the restriction enzyme HAEIII to digest different samples of the taster gene isolated from cheek cells of different people and amplified by PCR. When viewing the bands on the electrophoresis gel, one would expect that a taster (homozygote) would have---------band(s), whereas a carrier (heterozygote) would show--------band(s), and a non-taster would show------band(s).
Next-generation sequencing reveals that six new mutations have occurred in the coding regions of genes in an individual diploid fly. If the coding regions of this fly comprise 100 million nucleotides per haploid genome, what is the mutation rate per nucleotide?

- Mutations in the CFTR gene result in cystic fibrosis in humans, a conditions in which abnormal secretions are present in the lungs, pancreas, and sweat glands. The gene was mapped to a 500-kb region on chromosome 7 containing 3 candidate genes. a)Using your knowledge of the disease symptoms, how would you distinguish between the candidate genes to decide which is most likely to encode the CFTR gene? b)How would you prove that your chosen candidate is the CFTR gene?arrow_forwardYou are attempting to genotype a series of cells at gene A through restriction enzyme digestion. You know that the wild type allele “A” has 2 restriction enzyme cutting sites, creating bands that are 100bp, 200bp, and 300bp. A mutation creating allele “a” removes one of these cutting sites, creating bands that are 100bp and 500bp.

- When the S.cerevisiae genome was sequenced and surveyed for possible genes, only about 40% of those genes had been previously identified in forward genetic screens. This left about 60% of predcited genes with no known function, leading some to dub the genes fun (function unknown) genes. a)As an approach to understanding the function of a certain fun gene, you wish to create a loss of function allele. How would you do this? b)You wish to know the physical location of the encoded protein product. How would you obtain such information?arrow_forwardThe human genome contains more than a million copies of the Alu transposable element. Comparative genomics reveals that the Alu element is found only in the clade of mammals that includes primates, tree shrews,rodents, and rabbits. a. What does the observation that the Alu transposon is limited to this clade reveal about its origin and method of spread among species? b. At many sites in the genome, an Alu element is present in humans but absent in chimpanzees, while at many other sites an Alu element is present in chimpanzees but absent in humans. What are two hypotheses that could explain this situation? For any particular site,how could the hypotheses be distinguished?arrow_forwardAfter mutagenesis of wild type Vibrio fisheri, you isolate two different mutant strains (A and B) that, unlike the wild type cells, fail to luminesce when grown to high density in a flask with appropriate medium. Curiously, however, when you inoculate both mutant strains in the same flask, you observe that the mixed (A+B) culture begins to emit light after growing dense. a) What gene/functions are likely affected in each of the two mutants? b) How does this explain their phenotypes?arrow_forward
