You are a leading scientist heading a research
laboratory at SWOSU. Your student shows you a DNA gel of a PCR
experiment that he recently conducted. To trouble shoot his
experiment, you ask him about the ingredients he had in each PCR
tube (4 pt)
Tube 1. Template DNA, Primers, DNA polymerase,
nucleotides and buffer
Tube 2. Template DNA, Primers, DNA polymerase and
buffer
Tube 3. Primers, DNA polymerase and buffer
Tube 4. Template DNA, Primers, Nucleotides and
buffer
One of these tubes will have successful amplification
of target DNA and others will not have any
amplification. In the space provided below explain the
reason why there will be amplification one of the tubes while there
is be no amplification in other tubes. (Do not just answer
yes or no. Provide detailed explanation for each tube and provide
justification for how the left-out component will impact the PCR
process)

Note: Here I am considering your buffer also contain MgCl2
Tube 1: Amplification will be observe in this tube as all the essential components of PCR reaction are present.
Tube 2: Nucleotides (dNTPs) is missing in this tube. No amplification will be observe in this tube. Because dNTPs are the buliding block for amplification of DNA, enzyme DNA polymerase cannot extend primer without dNTPs.
Tube 3: Again this tube is also missing dNTPs. In addition to nucleotides, no template is present in reaction mixture. Without template primer cannot bind to its target area. And therfore no amplification.
Tube 4: This tube is missing DNA polymerase. This is an enzyme which carry out amplification. It add dNTPs by reading template DNA. Without DNA polymerase no amplification will be observe on gel.

CALCULATIONS [2 points each] You are asked to perform a PCR experiment in the lab. However, in this experiment you must add each ingredient separately (unlike the "master-mix" we used in our own experiment). In this experiment, each PCR reaction tube contained the following ingredients added with a micropipetor... 10 HL of 5x Buffer 6 μ1 of 25 mM MgCl2 solution μL of 10 mM dNTP mix 1.5 μL oligonucleotide primer mix 0.5 HL Taq DNA Polymerase stock solution 28...
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...
A scientist is doing a classical Sanger sequencing reaction. He sets up four reaction tubes, labeling them G, A, T, and C. To each tube he adds template, DNA polymerase, buffer, primer, all four dNTPs, and accidently, small amounts of all four ddNTPs. He then runs his samples on a sequencing gel. What do you think the gel will look like? The G, A, T, and C lanes will all look like normal, and it will still be easy to...
Suppose you are trying to synthesize DNA molecules In test tubes in the laboratory. A single stranded DNA molecule with the sequence 3'- GCGCGGAGTCCCTATCTGCA-5' will be used as the template strand for DNA synthesis. You also have at your disposal an DNA primer with the sequence 5'- CGCGCC-3', a DNA polymerase, and nucleotides You perform Iive separate experiments using the nucleotides indicated below: Experiment 1: dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP Experiment 2 dATP, dCTP. GTP, and dTTP Experiment 3 dATP,...

Your lab instructor has given you a protocol to perform a molecular cloning experiment. In a previous experiment, you used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a sequence that you believe to regulate expression of a gene you are studying. You will now take this purified PCR product (double stranded DNA) and ligate it into a plasmid that contains a luciferase reporter gene. If your DNA sequence is a promoter sequence, then its presence will allow for expression of the...
I need a full discussion page explaining the results of this experiment based on the graph provided was the experiments successful? Explain each line on the graph. what they mean and why could be the reason they cross-link?w Objective In the following experiment, we will use your recently isolated gDNA to set up preliminary qPCR reactions. Because mitochondrial DNA should be in higher concentration in your DNA samples, and qPCR performs better with products of low molecular weight (small size...
