If you start with 47 DNA segments, how many total copies of DNA will you have after 12 cycles of PCR?
Also what does attenuated mean in regards to the K12 strain of E. coli being used in lab? Is the answer “we have removed the gene that allows the bacteria to replicate”?
Thank you!!
The number of double stranded DNA pieces is doubled in each cycle, so that after n cycles you have 2^n (2 to the n:th power) copies of DNA.
An attenuated virus is a weakened, less vigorous virus. A vaccine against a viral disease can be made from an attenuated, less virulent strain of the virus, a virus capable of stimulating an immune response and creating immunity but not causing illness.Basically, the attenuated virus administered is unable to replicate sufficiently to cause disease in the recipient, but will still induce an immune response that can protect against infection before the virus is cleared by the immune system.
Please do give thumbs up ?
If you start with 47 DNA segments, how many total copies of DNA will you have...
Suppose you start a PCR reaction with 3 copies of a double stranded DNA fragment. How many copies will be present after 4 replication cycles? a. 7 b. 64 c. 48 d. 24 e. 8
if you start with 2 pieces of DNA, after 4 cycles of PCR how many would you have?
You determine that you have only three copies left of an important DNA fragment, so you decide to amplify it. Using flanking primers, how many PCR cycles would you have to run to generate over one billion (109) copies of the fragment? I know the answer is 29. I just don't understand how to get that answer.
8. Explain how the LacZ gene is used in recombinant DNA technology. 9. You LOVE spinach. This morning you heard on the news that E.coli O157:H7 has contaminated 90% of the spinach crops in your area. E.coli O157://7 is a pathogenic strain of bacteria that has acquired a gene that produces a toxin that gives people hemorrhagic diarrhea. You are bummed because you CAN'T live without your spinach! You recently began working in a lab that has a PCR machine...
Identification of unknown Bacteria by sequencing rDNA Having a little trouble understanding the PCR process. This is a lab we did and some homework questions regarding the sequencing rDNA to find unknown bacteria. I hope by answering these I can have better understanding of the process. The more descriptive the better. Thank you! 1. A. Name the gene that we will be sequencing in order to identify the unknown. Explain why this region is considered to be the target for...
Assuming that you start with one template DNA molecule, how many total DNA molecules would you have after 30 cycles? O 6.48 x 105 060 0 1,073 O ~1.07 x 109 Submit Answer Tries 0/99
not sure what the correct answers are To be export-ready, an mRNA molecule must: have its 5' cap removed be bound by EJCS have its poly-A tail removed have at least half of its introns removed od 80e covou The extension temperature used during PCR is determined by: the length of the PCR product you want to generate the DNA polymerase that is being used the annealing temperature of your primers x the source of your template DNA (eg, genomic...

Now. you should be able to answer the following questions: • How the amplification will be done? - How you will determine your target sequence? How the amplification will be specific for certain segment? What are the requirements to carry PCR? • Suppose you perform a PCR that begins with one double-strand of the following DNA template: +5'-CTACCTGCGGGTTGACTGCTACCTTCCCGGGATGCCCAAAATTCTCGAG-3+ +3'-GATGGACGCCCAACTGACGATGGAAGGGCCCTACGGGTTTTAAGAGCTC-5'+ A. Draw one cycle of PCR reaction below the following diagram. B. Label the template DNA, the primers, and what is...
4. p53 is an important cancer suppressor gene. To study its function, it is very useful to have p53 knock-out mice. How can one best prepare a strain of p53 knock-out mice? Please start with the optimal method to introduce mutations into DNA, and then describe how you would incorporate such DNA into the mouse genome. List all major steps. please give detailed answer, thank you!
