Question 1
Question
Vectors used to clone genes were derived originally from
Answer
-
proteins
-
plasmids
-
viruses
-
all of the above
-
b and c only
Question 2
Question
Restriction enzymes used in most cloning experiments
Answer
-
cut CNA into pieces for gene cloning
-
are naturally produced by bacteria cells to prevent viral infection
-
produce sticky ends on DNA fragments
-
All of the above are correct
-
only a and c are correct
Question 3
Question
DNA ligase is needed in a cloning experiment
Answer
-
to promote hydrogen bonding between sticky ends
-
to catalyze the covalent attachment of the backbone of DNA strands
-
to digest the chromosomal DNA into small pieces
-
Only a and b are correct
-
a, b, and c are correct
Question 4
Question
Let's suppose you followed protocols described in figures 20.2 and 20.3. Which experiment(s) would you conduct to confirm that a white colony really contained a recombinant vector with an inserted fragment of DNA?
Answer
-
Pick a bacterial colony and restreak on plates containing X-Gal to confirm that the cells really form white colonies.
-
Pick a bacterial colony, isolate plasmid DNA, digest the plasmid DNA with a restriction enzyme, and then preform gel electrophoresis with the DNA.
-
Pick a bacterial colony and test it to see it X-Gal is functional within the bacterial cells.
-
Pick a bacterial colony and retest it on ampicillin-containing plates to double-check that the cells are really ampicillin resistant.
-
Both c and d should be conducted.
Question 5
Question
Why is Taq polymerase used in PCR rather than other DNA polymerases?
Answer
-
Taq polymerase is a synthetic enzyme that produces DNA strands at a faster rate than natural polymerases.
-
Taq polymerase is a heat-stable form of DNA polymerase that can function after exposure to the high temperatures necessary for PCR.
-
Taq polymerase is easier to isolate than other DNA polymerases.
-
Taq polymerase is the DNA polymerase commonly produced by most eukaryotic cells.
-
All of the above are correct.
Question 6
Question
Let's suppose you want to clone a gene that has never been analyzed before by DNA sequencing. Which of the following statements do you agree with the most?
Answer
-
Do PCR to clone the gene because it is much faster.
-
Do PCR to clone the gene because it is very specific and gives a high yield.
-
You can't do PCR because you can't make forward and reverse primers.
-
Do cloning by insertion into a vector because it will give you a higher yield.
-
Do cloning by insertion into a vector because it is easier than PCR.
Question 7
Question
The method of determining the base sequence of DNA is termed
Answer
-
PCR
-
gene cloning
-
DNA fingerprinting
-
DNA sequencing
-
gene mapping
Question 8
Question
With regard to dideoxy sequencing, which of the following statements is false?
Answer
-
The dideoxy nucleotides are fluorescently labeled.
-
The dideoxy nucleotides cannot be incorporated into a growing DNA strand.
-
When incorporated into a DNA strand, the dideoxynucleotides prevent further growth of the strand.
-
The dideoxy sequencing method is used to determine the base sequence of DNA.
-
The dideoxy sequencing method requires the use of primers.
Question 9
Question
Organisms that carry genes that were introduced using molecular techniques are called
Answer
-
transgenics
-
recombinant DNA
-
mutants
-
genetically modified organisms
-
both a and d
Question 10
Question
DNA fingerprinting is used
Answer
-
to precisely identify an organism, such as the identification of specific strains of bacteria
-
as a forensics tool to provide evidence in a criminal case
-
to determine the genetic relationship between individuals
-
to determine the identity of an individual
-
for all of the above.
