How would you modify this technique (PCR) to identify dinosaur DNA in a fossil?
In this case, I would look for determine from which Dinosaur is the fossil. Is it comes from a specie related with reptiles? Or is it related more with birds as the Archaeopteryx? Based on this I would choose primers for conserved segments of the genome of reptiles or birds. Since, the DNA of fossils are highly degraded, I would start by the basic conserved information.
When Arthur Kornberg discovered DNA polymerase I, he suspected it could be used to make DNA copies. What else was needed that was not available in the 1950s?
In this case, the existence of primers was not available. Remember that to replicate the DNA, we need specific primers in order to make DNA copies in vitro. These primers are specially synthesized depending on the nucleotide sequence of the gene. In fact, the first PCR was establish around 35 years ago.

Question 2
Classical DNA sequencing is a powerful technique. Consider a situation where you first sequence a normal strand of DNA, then sequence a mutated strand. When analysing the results of sequencing reactions, run on a gel, would you be able to distinguish each of the following mutation types, compared to unmutated sequence, using classic "Sanger" sequencing? A silent mutation An insertion of 6 nucleotides A sense mutation Which of the following factors directly breaks phosphodiester bonds? Select all that...
