A cultured cell line appears to be having trouble surviving. Upon closer examination, you find that the cells do not appear to h

ave normal chromosome separation. Based on this observation, you decide to check for the presence of a mutated protein. You will be sure to analyze the gene for which protein?

Answer:

Tubulin

Explanation:

Tubulin is a globular protein with a molecular weight of approximately 55 kDa and is found in almost all eukaryotic cells. There are 5 types of tubulin, called α-tubulin, β-tubulin, γ-tubulin, δ-tubulin and ε-tubulin, but α- and β-tubulin are by far the most common forms of tubulin. Tubulin is the subunit that makes up the microtubules that, in turn, form an integral part of the cytoskeleton with essential functions in transporting cellular components within the cell and in cell division itself.

In the case of the above question, as cells do not appear to have normal chromosomal separation, this may have been caused by problems in the formation of microtubules, so it would be better to analyze the gene responsible for tubulin.

Answer:

There are no options in this question but generally a sample of DNA can be increased;

By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

Explanation:

This question describes the application of making molecular biology to solving a crime problem; a branch called forensics. In this case where an insufficient small amount of DNA sample was recovered from the blood in a crime scene, the polymerase chain reaction technique, commonly known as PCR can be used to increase the DNA sample.

In the 1980's, a molecular technique used to amplify part of a template DNA strand to produce several copies of it, was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues. This amplification refers to the numerical increase in the number of DNA sequence.
