Starting with one double stranded DNA, draw out 4 cycles of PCR schematically. One modification: suppose you were using the modified primers from class with 5'- extensions that contain additional nucleotides coding for restriction sites and buffer nucleotides. What products do you end up with?

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
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...
2. PCR amplification of the TAS2R38 gene a. The number of copies of the 303 bp sequence grows exponentially (1-2-4-8-etc) after each cycle. The number of cycles we used is on page 97. What is the number of copies of the 303 bp fragment that will theoretically be present at the end of our reaction? b. Denaturation of the 303 bp segment of the TAS2R38 gene is a critical first step in the PCR perties of a DNA segment that...

A cell's genome is its blueprint for life. However, what is the bare minimum number of genes needed to sustain a free-living cell? This is a question that microbiologists at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) have attempted to answer ever since they sequenced the genomes of several Mycoplasma species in the 1990s. Because Mycoplasma species are parasitic bacteria, their genomes are already reduced in size and hence provide an excellent foundation for creating a "minimal cell." However, little did...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
