You hypothesize that a transcriptional regulator may control expression of specific genes in LB medium, and want to find out wha

t these genes are. You have made a set of strains (i.e., library) in which a promoterless lacZ was inserted at varied chromosomal locations. Design an experiment to identify these genes using agar plates with LB and X-gal. Describe the steps in this procedure.

Answer:

if the promoterless lacZ is inserted close to any gene(s) or operon, then the laz gene will also be transcribed when the operon gets expressed. The polycystronic RNA will eventually produce a beta-galactosidase protein(product of lacZ gene) which will cleave X-Gal( structural analog to lactose), which will produce blue chromogenic substance.

prepare LB agar. Allow it to cool, add X-gal before it solidifies, pour to plates.

create grids and patch plate each strain on it. Just pick the strain that looks blue, amplify the sequence upstream of the lacZ and sequence it.

Explanation:

Just pick the strain that looks blue, amplify the sequence upstream of the lacZ, and sequence it.

Describe what happens when a cells divide uncontrollably
maria [59]
Cell replication is meant to be a very regulated process. Messages are sent to the cell, telling it when to duplicate and when not to. When cells divide according to their natural plan, then there are no problems. However, when cells either do not receive those messages or misinterpret them, they can divide too fast and without pause. These renegade cells are what we call cancer cells.
