Document Summary

Want a bacterial cell to express a particular gene. Donor dna and vector dna are both cleaved w/ the same restriction enzyme, in this case, ecori. Cut the gene out of the chromosome. Open up a slot within in the circular plasmid. Want to be able to glue together and create the recombinant dna. Use the restriction enzyme to cut it at a very specific sequence. Restriction enzyme to open up the plasmid. Sticky end for your gene will be complimentary to the sticky end of the plasmid. The resulting fragments are mixed together and joined by dna ligase. The genomic and vector fragments have complementary ends. Once they have the plasmid, they all express the gene that is on the plasmid. Giving instructions of what gene to express. Have a whole population of bacterial species that express the gene that you inserted into it. Way to amplify the number of gene copies.

Assume that you are trying to insert a gene into a plasmid andsomeone gives you a DNA sample cut with restriction enzyme X. Thegene you wish to insert from the given sample has sites on bothends for cutting by restriction enzyme Y. You have a plasmid with asingle site for Y, but not for X. Your strategy should be to

cut the plasmid with restriction enzyme X and insert thefragments cut with Y into the plasmid.

cut the plasmid with enzyme X and then insert the gene into theplasmid.

cut the DNA again with restriction enzyme Y and insert thesefragments into the plasmid cut with the same enzyme.

cut the plasmid twice with restriction enzyme Y and ligate thetwo fragments onto the ends of the human DNA fragments cut withrestriction enzyme X.

insert the fragments cut with X directly into the plasmidwithout cutting the plasmid.

A plasmid that carries two antibiotic resistance genes, to ampicillin and tetracycline, respectively, has one restriction site for EcoRI located within the tetracycline resistance gene. Eukaryotic DNA containing a gene of interest (g.o.i.) has been digested with diffferent restriction enzymes, none of which cut within the gene of interest sequence). The resultant fragments are added to plasmid DNA that has been digested with EcoR1 only; the mixture was then incubated with DNA ligase. Resulting plasmids (recombinant and otherwise) are added to competent bacteria lacking resistance genes and growing in nutrient broth. The bacteria are then plated and allowed to grow overnight producing isolated colonies. Samples of these colonies are then grown in four different media: nutrient broth plus ampicillin; nutrient broth plus tetracycline; nutrient broth plus ampicillin and tetracycline; and nutrient broth containing no antibiotics.

1. The bacteria containing the plasmid with the gene of interest successfully insertedin would grow in

A. Tthe nutrient broth only.

B. The nutrient broth, the ampicillin broth, and the tetracycline broth.

C. Tthe nutrient broth and the tetracycline broth only.

D. The ampicillin broth and the nutrient broth.E.Tthe ampicillin and tetracycline broth only.

2. Bacteria transformed with the plasmid alone (not containing any eukaryotic DNA), would grow

A. Only in the broth containing both antibiotics.

B. In the nutrient broth plus ampicillin, but not in the broth containing tetracycline.

C. In the broth containing tetracycline, but not in the broth containing ampicillin.

D. Only in the broth that contained no antibiotics.

E. In all four types of broth.

4. Bacteria that did not take up any plasmids at all would grow in which media?

A. The tetracycline and ampicillin broth only

B. The nutrient broth and the tetracycline broth only

C. The nutrient broth and the ampicillin broth only

D. The nutrient broth only
