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.

balu736 [363]
<span>Prokaryotes have magnetite-containing structures, nucleoid (their version of a nucleus), fimbriae. Animals have lysosomes. Plant cells have chloroplasts (make the plant cells green, produce energy for plants), photosynthetic membranes (produce energy for plants), cell well. Flagella can be found in prokaryotes and animal cells but for a simpler biology class, I would put it with prokaryotes.</span>

A woman and a man are both heterozygous for a recessive allele for a rare genetic disease. If they have one child, what is the p
makkiz [27]

Answer:

  • If they have one child, the probability that he or she will be affected is 1/4.
  • If they have two children, the probability that at least one of them will be affected is 7/16.

Explanation:

A cross between two heterozygous Aa individuals will produce the followinf offspring: 1/4 AA, 2/4 Aa and 1/4 aa.

Since the disease is recessive, 1/4 of the offspring will have the <em>aa </em>genotype and 3/4 of the offspring will be unaffected.

Every time they have children new gametes were generated <u>independently</u>.

The probability of having <u>no</u> affected children both times is, according to rules of probability for independent events, 3/4 × 3/4 = 9/16 (it's the probability of having a healthy child the first time multiplied by the probability of having a healthy child the second time).

The probability of having at least one affected child is 1 - probability of no affected children = 1 - 9/16 = 7/16.
