The temperature at which the primers and target DNA hybridize may be changed to influence the stringency of PCR amplification. What effect will changing the hybridization temperature have on the amplification? Let's say you have a certain yeast gene A and want to check whether it has a human equivalent. How might managing the hybridization's rigor benefit you?
A researcher is doing PCR to have more of HDR template which will be used further for yeast transformation. He column-cleaned the PCR, eluting in 20 ul of warm elution buffer. He used 2 ul of the 20 ul stock to nanodrop the sample and found the concentration was 60 ng/ul. Find the nanograms of HDR template he had left to use for future work (like yeast transformations)?
Explain why a positive control and negative control are included in PCR experiments. Explain the three steps involved in each cycle of polymerase chain reaction.Why is loading dye added to the DNA sample for gel electrophoresis? Explain the function of the following components in a PCR reaction:− Primer, dNTP, MgCl, Taq polymerase, buffer.
Examine the pGLO plasmid DNA solution with the UV lamp. Note your observations. Using a micropipettor, withdraw 10 ul of plasmid and mix it into the cell suspension of the +PGLO tube by pipetting up and down three times. Close the tube and return it to the rack on ice. Also close the -PGLO tube. Do not add plasmid DNA to the -pGLO tube. Why not?
Comment on the failure of p1vir transduction experiments and give a reason why you think the transductions was unsuccessful for some genes. Suggest any alternative methods that could be used to create the mutations that were unsuccessful in these experiments? There are no colonies on the plate for some of the genes. and in DNA sequence, some colonies don't have primers present. For PCR, some colonies are not replaced by kanamycin or tetracycline.
Part A. If student counts 63 colonies on their 10^-6 dilution LB plate. What was the original concentration of their cells if they plated 100ul? Part B.If we used pGFPuv as the template for PCR positive control. This is because: a. it contains the GFP gene so it should show a product. b. It contains DNA fragments that were added to the ligation reaction. c. It is the desired plasmid we wanted to make. d. So we have a band to compare our unknown plasid to allowing us to check if the unknown is the right size.
In PCR amplification why is it important to have a negative control?

You have set up a recombinant DNA experiment using the plasmid PBR322 as the vector (see plasmid below). You use the BamHI restriction site on the plasmid to insert the target DNA. The plasmid is then used to transform E.coli colls Is the following statement True or False? Growth of the transformed cells on agar containing both ampicillin and tetracycline will eliminate any cells that do not contain a plasmid.

We isolate DNA from a bacteria that is wild type for the genes arg leu and his shear it in a blender mix it into a culture of bacteria that is mutant for the genes arg leu and his . We then plate on various media. These are the results: Media with arginine 20 colonies /ml Media with histidine 300 colonies /ml Media with leucine 500 colonies /ml Media with all three 10000 colonies/ml 21. What is this experiment called? A. transpiration B. conjugation C. transformation D. transduction
After transformation you were asked to grow bacterial cells transformed with plasmid on a plate that had X-gal and ampicillin. X-Gal is often used as in indicator dye, which turns blue when metabolized by B-galactosidase protein and used to test if cloning experiments have worked. [Note look at the vector diagrams carefully] Briefly explain how you would find the bacterial cells that are transformed with the plasmid with the YFG inserted.
You are performing PCR for the first time using some new primers that are 25 nucleotides in length with an estimated melting temperature of 65 0C to amplify a 200 nucleotide gene. After PCR, you run an agarose gel on the samples and observe a faint band at 25 nucleotides. What is the best possible explanation for the results? The primers hybridized to multiple sites on the DNA template. Too much template DNA was added to the PCR mixture. The primers dimerized preventing DNA transcription from occurring. A nuclease was in the solution causing degradation of the DNA.
