Recall that dilution factors can be used with concentrations of solutions as well as with titers of cell suspensions. A molecula

r biologist sets up a PCR reaction containing 5.0 µl of primer mixture, 1.0 µl of dNTPs, 1.0 µl of Taq polymerase, 10.0 µl of 5X buffer, 20.0 µl of extracted DNA solution, 3.0 µl of 25 mM MgCl2 and 10.0 µl of sterile water. What would be the final concentration in mM of MgCl2 after the components are mixed?

Answer:

1.5 mM

Explanation:

<u>PCR mix</u>

  • 5 µL Primers
  • 1.0 µL dNTPs
  • 1.0 µl Taq pol
  • 10.0 µl of 5X buffer
  • 20.0 µl DNA
  • 3.0 µl MgCl₂ 25mM
  • 10.0 µl H₂O

Total volume = 50 µL

<u>We can use the dilution factor (df) to calculate the final concentration of MgCl₂</u>

<h2>\frac{Initial\ concentration}{dilution\ factor}  = final\ concentration</h2>

The dilution factor can be calculated as the final volume divided by the sample volume.

  • Final volume = 50 µL of PCR mix
  • Sample volume = 3 µL of MgCl₂
  • Dilution factor = 50 µL / 3 µL = 16,67

<u>The final concentration of MgCl₂ in the mix will be:</u>

\frac{25\ mM}{16.67} = 1.5\ mM

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

In eukaryotes, it is well known that polyadenylation is required to produce the mature messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and it provides stability to the mRNA during translation initiation. In prokaryotic organisms, polyadenylation is required for the degradation of the mRNA in a mechanism that involves three steps: endonucleolytic cleavage, polyadenylation and exonucleolytic degradation. Moreover, it is also important to note that no evidence of polyadenylation has bee reported in some prokaryotes including the halophilic bacteria Haloferax volcanic (Slomovic et al. 2005).

What does the small vacuole do?
Marina86 [1]
<span>Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells, some animal, and some prokaryotic cells. There is a difference in size between plant and animal cells. Plant cells usually have one large vacuole while animal cells have a number of small vacuoles. If the term "small vacuoles" is used for vacuoles in animal cells, then they are involved in overcoming the foreign particles, storage of waste and during the exocytosis, and invagination of the cell membrane during engulfing the bacteria.</span>
