You work in a laboratory that studies the molecular biology of tribbles. [Although tribbles are an alien life form, assume here

that the molecular biology of tribbles is identical to that of eukaryotes on Earth.]Your lab has a genomic library of tribble DNA, as well as a cDNA library made with mRNA extracted from whole tribbles. The lab also has a collection of live tribbles that can be used to isolate RNA or DNA, and a supply of fixed tribbles that can be stained for gene expression.Your advisor provides you with a cloned 100 bp DNA fragment that represents part of the protein-coding region of a tribble gene. Using the tools described in the previous paragraph and the molecular biology techniques we have discussed in class, how would you accomplish each of the following aims? Note: try to come up with the simplest and modest direct approach that will give you the desired information.A. Determine the amino acid sequence of the complete protein produced by that gene.B. Determine whether or not the gene contains introns.C. Determine whether the RNA produced by that gene experiences alternative splicing.D. Determine the length of the mature mRNA(s) produced by the gene. This includes the UTRs and the poly-A tail.E. Determine which cells in the tribble body do and do not express mRNA from this gene.F. You discover a blood stain in the lab, and you want to determine whether it is human blood or tribble blood. How can you do this using the molecular biology tools described above?

Answer:

Explanation:

A) to determine amino acid sequence of the protein produced by that gene. We will use cDNA library, we will hybridize given part of DNA sequence ( as this part only contains exon part). Than we will isolate the hybridize part and translate this sequence using generic coding table.

B) for determine presence or absence of introns in gene used isolated cDNA in first question. Now we will add this cDNA to DNA library. Here cDNA due to complementary mature binds with DNA. If cDNA binds completely with gene with out looping part of gene it shows that gene is having only exons .

And if along with hybridization part some looped part present in between-- it shows both exons and intron are present.

C) for determining alternative splicing we will use cDNA library.

d) to determine length of mature mRNA which includes both the UTR and poly A sequence we will go for cDNA cloning and look for particular cDNA complementary to DNA segments. And later we isolate that cDNA and examine its whole length

E) to determine which cells in the tribble body express this particular mRNA . We use fluorescent tagged small DNA part provided. Then we will add this DNA probe to supplied tribes. The cells which are expressing , will have cDNA will bind to probe and florescent can be detected. Cells which are not expressing that gene, here probe will not bind and no fluorescence.  

F) to determine that whose blood strain is this. We will do VBTR profiling . Which VNTR profiling similar to belief stain help to determine which blood stain is this.

When we extracted our own DNA last Friday, how did the things we used (Gatorade, alcohol, soap) relate to the things that are us
user100 [1]

Answer:

Soap solution functions to dissolve the cell membranes, alcohol is used to precipitate DNA, and Gatorade is a isotonic solution.

Explanation:

In the DNA extraction protocols, the cell membranes that are formed by lipidic bilayers can be dissolved by using detergent solutions that are functionally analog to soap solution, shampoo, etc. On the other hand, alcohol enables to precipitate DNA (because DNA is not soluble in alcohol), while proteins and other cellular components remain in the extraction solution. Finally, Gatorade is a isotonic solution that may be used to prevent the cells from lysing.
