the Linking number remains unchanged for a closed supercoiled DNA molecule, but unwound circular DNA would reduce 2 linking numbers, thus the answer should be,
30-2 = 28
This figure represents supercoiled, circular, double-stranded DNA: If this molecule of DNA originated as a linear...
A relaxed B-type double stranded circular DNA molecule of 8,400 base pairs was cleaved by an E. coli Type II topoisomerase. What was the original linking number (Lko) and the final linking number (Lk) for this DNA molecule? a. Lko=1,200; Lk=1,199 b. Lko=800; Lk=802 c. Lko-400; Lk=401 d. Lko+800; Lk=798 e. Lko=400; Lk=399 An explanation of the answer would be appreciated, thanks! The rate of bp/turn = 10.5.
A number of factors influence the melting properties of a linear, double-stranded DNA molecule in a 0.25M sodium chloride solution. Considering this, explain each of the following observations: (a) The Tmincreases in proportion to the length of the molecule (b) As the concentration of sodium chloride is decreased, the Tm decreases (c) Renaturation of single strands to form double strands occurs more rapidly when the DNA concentration is increased (d) The Tm value is reduced when urea is added to...
You are performing an analysis of squirrel mitochondrial DNA, which is a circular double-stranded DNA molecule that is 23,000 bp in length. You are using restriction enzymes and agarose gel electrophoresis in your experiments. You have decided to use two restriction endonucleases: Pstl and Tagl. The picture below shows their recognition sites, and the red arrows indicate their strand- Pstl (Providencia stuartii) CTGCAG GACGTC specific cleavage sites. Taqi (Thermus aquaticus) TCGA AGCT Part A: The Pstl and Taql enzymes both...
DNA is double stranded, but only one strand is used as a template for transcription. How does the cellular machinery determine which strand to use as the template? Choose the best answer. O It always starts on the 5' end. O The sequence of the DNA that will be transcribed determines which strand will be used. O It always starts on the 5' end closest to the centromere. O The location and orientation of the promoter determine which strand will...

Draw a figure of one double stranded DNA molecule that has initiated replication and produced two okazaki fragment in each lagging strand. The figure must include both template strands, all newly synthesized DNA molecules on both leading and lagging strands, all RNA primers, direction of chain growth for each fragment/strand indicated with arrowheads, direction of replication forks. Each molecule must be labeled with the origin of replication on both strands, leading and lagging strands labeled, template or newly synthesized, DNA...
If you wished to replace one gene with another in the chromosome, would linear double stranded DNA or covalently closed circular DNA be better to use and why?

DNA is a double-stranded molecule where two polynucleotide strands run antiparallel to each other, and the bases on one strand are complementary to the bases on the opposite strand. If one strand of a DNA molecule has the following sequence of bases, what would the sequence be for the complementary, antiparallel DNA strand? 3' GCTGATCAGGAC 5'
