- Gel electrophoresis techniques
- Applications of recombinant DNA technology
Which of the following could be collected at a crime scene to create a DNA profile for a suspect?
A blood sample.
Imprints of shoes in mud outside of the broken door.
A letter of admission written and signed by the suspect saying βit was me!β on the computer at the crime scene.
Fingerprints.
Once a sample of DNA has been fragmented, which process is used to separate the fragments?
Recombinantion
Plasmids
Restriction
Electrophoresis.
DNA fragments move through the gel a distance that is inversely proportional to their length. Which of the following fragments would move furthest?
1100 base pairs
1500 base pairs
900 base pairs
4000 base pairs
A sample of DNA is fragmented by restriction enzymes, Fragment 1 = 1000 bp, Fragment 2 =2000 bp, Fragment 3 = 3000 bp, Fragment 4 4000 bp. Following electrophoresis how would the fragment appear in the gel?
Β electrode 4, 1, 3, 2, + electrode
+ electrode 3, 2, 1, 4, - electrode
Β electrode 4, 3, 2, 1, + electrode
+ electrode 4, 3, 2, 1, - electrode
Which of the following represents the correct sequence of steps in the process of gel electrophoresis?
Load the gel with samples, insert the comb, electrophorese the gel, pour the gel
Pour the gel, insert the comb, load the gel with samples, electrophorese the gel
Insert the comb, pour the gel, load the gel with samples, electrophorese the gel
Insert the comb, load the gel with samples, pour the gel, electrophorese the gel
What is the function of a restriction enzyme in recombinant technology?
Cut DNA into fragments at specific locations
Separate fragments of DNA by their length and electrical charges
Make millions of copies of a specific segment of DNA
Link together newly joined fragments of DNA
Carry DNA into a new cell
What is the function of plasmids in genetic engineering?
Carry recombinant DNA into a new cell
Make millions of copies of a specific segment of DNA
Separate fragments of DNA by their length and electrical charges
Cut DNA into many fragments
Link together newly joined fragments of DNA
What is the function of gel electrophoresis in genetic engineering?
