Indicate true or false for the following statements The glycerol used in the DNA loading dye allows DNA to be visualized under UV light. The DNA Ladder used for agarose gel electrophores can be used to estimate fragment size and DNA concentration. During gel electrophoresis a DNA smear may indicate that DNase was still present in the sample.

How much of each of the following reagents will you use to obtain the indicated working concentrations? 10x restriction buffer >> working concentration 1x 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA) >> working concentration 100?μg/mL
Why is the company Qiagen has more refined DNA extraction steps than a normal Strawberry DNA extraction practical? Summary of Qiagen DNA extraction steps Add ATL buffer and grind with sample. Add 20 microliters of enzyme Proteinase K to degrade protein into a 1.5-2ml microcentrifuge tube. Add 200 microlitres AL lysis buffer, and mix by vortexing for 5–10 seconds, which breaks cell membrane allowing DNA to be released. Incubate the sample at 56 degrees for 10 minutes. Mix the cell lysate with 200 microlitres ethanol by pipetting it at the side of the microcentrifuge wall so DNA precipitates. The DNA forms a white layer and the remaining liquid is discarded. Pipet the mixture into DNeasy Mini spin column placed in a 2 ml collection tube. Centrifuge for a minute at 8000 rpm. Place the mini spin column into a 2 ml collection tube, add 500 µl Buffer AW1, and centrifuge for 1 min at 8000 rpm. Then add it to a new 2 ml collection tube (provided), add 500 µl Buffer AW1, and centrifuge for 1…
The rate of migration of DNA within an agarose gel in the gel electrophoresis technique is primarily based on: O The number of the DNA fragments. The size of the DNA fragments. The concentration of the DNA None
Drag and drop the appropriate text in the gaps below. Firstly, the plasmid DNA in the E. coli is propagated through Then the bacterial cells are pelleted by centrifugation at 10,000 RPM. The media supernatant is removed and the bacterial cells are The bacterial cells are then lysed via |. Contaminating macromolecules such as protein and chromosomal DNA is removed by Overnight incubation of the bacterial culture washed in cell resuspension buffer addition of lysis buffer addition of neutralisation buffer washing of the spin column separation via agarose gel electrophoresis
DNA Extraction by Alkaline Lysis Procedure: 1. Spin 1.5 ml of cells in a microcentrifuge at maximum speed (12,000 rpm) for 20s to pellet. Remove the supernatant completely with a Pasteur pipet or a plastic pipettor tip. The spins can be performed at 4C or at room temperature. Longer spins make it difficult to resuspend cells. 2. Resuspend pellet in 100µl GTE solution and let sit 5 min at room temperature. Be sure cells are completely resuspended. 3. Add 200µl NaOH/SDS solution, mix by tapping tube with finger, and place on ice for 5 min. 4. Add 150µl potassium acetate solution and vortex at maximum speed for 2s to mix. Place on ice for 5-15 min. Be sure mixing is complete. 5. Spin 3 min at 12,000 rpm to pellet cell debris and chromosomal DNA. 6. Transfer 0.4 ml supernatant to a fresh tube, mix it with 0.8 ml of 95% ethanol or 0.4 ml isopropanol, and let sit 2 min at room temperature precipitate nucleic acids. 7. Spin at 12,000rpm for 3 min at room temperature to pellet plasmid DNA and…
Select all the following statements that are correct regarding agarose gel electrophoresis and restriction digests. Group of answer choices A higher percentage of agarose is used to distinguish between smaller pieces of DNA DNA fragments run from the positive electrode (where they are loaded) to the negative electrode Buffer is poured into the electrophoresis chamber AFTER the DNA has been loaded into the lanes. Larger DNA fragments migrate more slowly than smaller DNA fragments Loading dye is added AFTER restriction digests have been completed.
