  • Suppose there is a genetic disorder caused by a single base change in a gene on...

    Suppose there is a genetic disorder caused by a single base change in a gene on chromosome 11, which changes a cellular protein so that its function is altered. This mutation happens also to eliminate a cleavage site for a restriction endonuclease EcoRI (sequence: 5'-GAATTC-3'). If you isolated a portion of chromosome 11 DNA containing this defective gene, explain exactly how could you use restriction enzymes and gel electrophoresis to detect the base change. Please write 500 words or fewer.

    13. Why are ribonucleoside triphosphates the monomers required for RNA synthesis rather than ribonucleoside monophosphates? A. Only ribonucleoside triphosphates contain the sugar ribose. B. Ribonucleoside triphosphates have low potential energy, making the polymerization reaction endergonic. C. Ribonucleoside triphosphates have high potential energy, making the polymerization reaction exergonic. D. Ribonucleoside monophosphates cannot form complementary base pairs with the DNA template. E. Ribonucleoside triphosphates are not used, rather all use deoxyriboside triphosphates. 14. How is a mutation in a bacterial cell that...
