The partial sequence of one strand of a double-stranded DNA molecule is 5'-GACGAAGTGCTGCAGAAAGTCCGCGTTATAGGCATGAATTCCTGAGG -3' EcoRI is a restriction enzyme that cleaves after G in the sequence 5'-GAATTC-3'. PstI is a restriction enzyme that cleaves after A in the sequence 5'-CTGCAG-3'. Write the sequence of both strands of the DNA fragment created when this DNA is cleaved with both EcoRI and PstI. The first strand of your duplex DNA fragment should be derived from the given strand sequence. 5'- -3' 3'- -5'
To estimate the number of cleavage sites in a particular piece of DNA with a known size, you can apply the formula N/4n where N is the number of base pairs in the target DNA and n is the number of bases in the recognition sequence of the restriction enzyme. If the recognition sequence for BamHI is GGATCC and the l phage DNA contains approximately 48,500 bp, how many cleavage sites would you expect?
You are studying a genome that has 42% G:C content and the remaining 58% of the genome is As and Ts. Assuming a random distribution of these bases what is the expected distance (ie there will be a cut once in every XX base pairs) between cut-sites for restriction enzyme that cuts at the sequence GAATTC? 256 3207 4168 4096
Nucleosomes can be assembled onto defined DNA segments. When a particular 225-bp segment of human DNA was used to assemble nucleosomes and then incubated with micrococcal nuclease, which digests DNA that is not located within the nucleosome, uniform fragments 147 bp in length were generated. Subsequent digestion of these fragments with a restriction enzyme that cuts once within the original 225-bp sequence produced two well-defined bands at 37 bp and 110 bp. Why do you suppose two well-defined fragments were generated by restriction digestion, rather than a range of fragments of different sizes? How would you interpret this result?

Restriction endonucleases are bacterial enzymes that cleave duplex (double-stranded) DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. The mode of replication of the animal virus SV40 has been investigated by using restriction endonucleases that cleave SV40 DNA into a number of unique segments. Like most viruses, SV40 DNA is circular. The map positions of the 11 fragments produced by a pair of restriction endonucleases are shown on the next page. Immediately following a 5 or 10 minute pulse of radioactively labeled thymidine, labeled SV40 molecules that have completed replication during the pulse are isolated. These newly replicated DNA molecules are digested by the restriction endonucleases and the resulting fragments are analyzed for the relative amounts of pulse label they contain. The results are in the table below. Assume that at the time the label was added there was a random population of replicating SV40 DNA molecules in all possible stages of synthesis. From the information given below,…

DNA is extracted from the blood cells of two different humans, individuals 1 and 2. In separate experiments, the DNA from each individual is cleaved by restriction endonucleases A, B, and C, and the fragments are separated by electrophoresis. A hypothetical map of a 10,000 bp (base pair) segment of a human chromosome is shown (1 kbp= 1,000 bp). Individual 2 has point mutations that eliminate restriction recognition sites B* and C*. After the 10kbp segment is digested with each restriction endonuclease A, B, and C one by one, samples are loaded onto an agarose gel for electrophoresis for analysis. I would like you to draw the result of gel electrophoresis. To answer the question, first, draw the whole gel image (on the right) on your answer sheet, then indicate where you expect to see the bands on the gel. (Hint1: Same-size bands will appear at the same position. Hint 2: On the gel bands from individuals 1 and 2 might be at different positions.) The left lane (with an M label on the…
You have two tubes, each with a pair of DNA fragments inside them. Tube #1 has fragments that are 500bp and 1000 bp in length. Tube #2 has fragments that are 7500bp and 8000bp in size. If you were to perform agarose gel electrophoresis and run the contents of each tube in two separate lanes on the same gel, what would you expect to see? O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was much greater than the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2. O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was the same as difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2. O That the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #1 was much less than the difference between the distances migrated by the two fragments in Tube #2. O It is not possible to estimate what we would expect to see.
