    QUESTION 6 Assume you are studying a protein-coding gene, ACEX, which includes 4 exons as illustrated in the gene map below. The 5' UTR and 3' UTR segments are each 25 bp long. Exons 1 thru 4 are 100, 200, 300, 400 bp long, respectively. Each intron is 200 bp each. The locations of the relevant EcoRI sites within the ACEX locus are indicated, but the location of other restriction enzyme sites (like BamHI) are not shown." EcoRI probe EcoRI...

    The picture above represents an agarose gel that was used to analyze plasmid DNA after it was cut with the restriction enzyme HindIll. The plasmid was incubated with Hindill until all of the available Hindlll cut sites were cut by HindIll. After running the sample on the gel, three bands were detected (Note that there are three wells shown at the top of the gel for loading samples, however, only the middle well was loaded with sample). Based on this...

    Questions 9-12 deal with SSR loci in Sam's genome. Remember that SSRs (simple sequence repeats) are tandem (next to each other) repeats of short sequences (a few bp). Such tandem repeats are located at specific sites scattered throughout the genome. Individuals vary in the number of repeats at each site sites can have up to 100 repeats. Each locus with the same repeats is called an SSR ocus DNA was extracted from Sam's white blood cells and cut with a...
