In this activity you will extract DNA from living material. Before you begin, here are some helpful suggestions. 1 Make the extraction buffer first and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. To make the extraction buffer, add 2 teaspoons of detergent, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ cup of water to one of the plastic cups. Stir well, and refrigerate or let stand in an ice bucket. 2 Keep the alcohol ice cold until you are ready to use it. 3 Try to move through each step of the activity as efficiently as possible. In addition to DNA, smashed-up fruit also contains enzymes that chop up DNA if it sits at warm temperatures for too long. Procedure 1 Remove any of the green stems or leaves on the strawberry (if using a banana, remove the peel). 2 Place fruit into the plastic bag. Seal the bag and gently mash up the fruit with your hands for two minutes. What does this mechanical action do to the cells and the DNA?
Refer to Figure 2 and compare this with the DNA model in Figure 1. a. In what ways are they similar? b. In what ways are they different? c. What is the biological significance of such differences? Why is the DNA referred to as the genetic material?
You are trying to determine the base content for a number of samples in the lab (mouse DNA, bacterial DNA, single-stranded DNA virus and double-stranded RNA virus). Unfortunately, you failed to use an alcohol-proof marker and during the ethanol precipitation of your samples the labels came off the tubes. You finish the experiment anyway and try to use the data to determine the samples. Can you determine the source of each sample based on your results? Briefly explain how you come to your designations. Sample % adenine % cytosine % guanine % thymine % uracil A 18 32 32 18 0 B 26 18 32 24 0 C 31 19 19 0 31 D 10 40 40 10 0
You are provided with a sample of aardvark DNA. As part of your investigation of this DNA, you transcribe mRNA from the DNA and purify it. You then separate the two strands of the DNA and analyze the base composition of each strand and of the mRNA transcripts. You obtain the following results: A G C T UDNA strand #1 19.1 26.0 31.0 23.9 0DNA strand #1 24.2 30.8 25.7 19.3 0mRNA 19.0 25.9 30.8 0 24.3Which strand of the DNA is the “sense” strand that serves as the template for mRNA synthesis?
Which of the following is true about DNA manipulation? Select the best answer. A. all of these B. DNA has never been transferred between different organisms. C. Transferring DNA from one organism into another always kills the host organism. D. Whole genomes have been manipulated by humans for centuries; now individual genes ca be inserted into different organisms using a variety of techniques. E. DNA can't be manipulated.
