Zoo/Bot 3333 Genetics 4/16/07 Quiz 4 For answers to the quiz, please click here: 1. The restriction enzyme, CviJI has the 4 base recognition sequence PuGCPy, where Pu stands for a purine, and Py stands for a pyrimidine). On average, this enzyme might be expected to cut a random DNA sample every ____________bp. a) 64; b) 256; c) 1024; d) 1296; e) 4096. 2. The recognition sites for the restriction enzymes BamHI, SauIIIa and BglII are 5’-GGATCC-3’, 5’-GATC-3’ and 5’-AGATCT-3’, respectively, where the arrows represent the cut locations for each strand of the palindromic site. Which enzymes leave compatible ends that will facilitate ligation? a) All of these enzymes leave ends that are compatible with ends generated by the others; b) None of the enzymes produce compatible ends; c) Only BamHI and BglII fragments are compatible; d) Only BamHI and SauIIIa fragments are compatible; e) only BglII and SauIIIa fragments are compatible. 3. True or false. One useful property of bacteriophage lambda vectors used in molecular cloning is their ability to integrate into the E. coli chromosome. Questions 4-5 pertain to the following. DNA was prepared from white blood cells isolated from a large human population. These DNAs were individually digested with EcoRI, subjected to electrophoresis and Southern blotting, and the blot was probed with a radioactively labeled cloned DNA sequence. Ten different restriction patterns were observed among these samples. The figure below indicates the different patterns observed in human populations 4. In the following diagrams, the vertical lines represent EcoRI restriction sites. An asterisk over the site represents a polymorphism (presence or absence of the site in individuals) in the population. The double arrow represents the boundaries of the cloned DNA used in the Southern blot analysis. Which of the following is consistent with the arrangement of EcoRI restriction sites in human genomic DNA? a) 1.0 * * c) 1.0 1.0 4.0 2.1 1.9 1.0 2.1 * * d) 1.9 * * b) 2.1 1.9 * e) 1.0 1.9 2.1 5. Suppose individuals 1 and 8 married. Assuming no recombination occurs within the region in question, how many potentially different patterns would be observed among their progeny on Southern blot analysis? a) only 1; b) 2; c) 3; d) 4 e) 6. Question 6 pertains to the following. The region of the genome shown in the above problems is known to contain a particular gene, which encodes a very large protein of 1600 amino acids. The last 13 amino acids of this protein were sequenced, and the following sequence was observed: NH2-Trp Phe Tyr Met Asp Met Gly Leu Ser Gln Met Leu Ser-COOH 6. If an 20 base pair oligonucleotide probe were being designed that could be used to isolate the gene of interest from a genomic library, a probe derived from the codons of which amino acids would make the best probe? a) Trp Phe Tyr Met Asp Met Gly; b) Tyr Met Asp Met Gly Leu Ser; c) Met Asp Met Gly Leu Ser Gln; d) Gly Leu Ser Gln Met Leu Ser; e) the probes would all be equally useful, since they would all be the same size. 7. True or false. It would be impossible to produce a cDNA library of genes expressed in human red blood cells, since red blood cells do not contain a nucleus. Questions 8-9 pertain to the following diagram, which represents a region of a DNA sequencing gel produced using the Sanger chain termination method. The individual lanes represent the reaction products from the four separate labeling reactions (A,G,C,T) which were loaded at the top of the gel. 8. As deduced from this experiment, the sequence A G C T of the strand being copied (template) in this reaction is: a) 5’-AGACTATCTCTA-3’ b) 5’-ATCTCTATCAGA-3 c) 5 -TAGAGATAGTCT-3’ d) 5- TCTGATAGAGAT-3’ e) 5- GAGTCGCTCTCG-3’ 9. Which of the following was NOT present in the test tube during the ‘G’ DNA synthesis reaction? a) dATP; b) dGTP; c) ddGTP; d) dTTP; e) all of the above were present in the reaction. Question 10 pertains to the following. Six independently derived mutants are recovered in Neurospora which are all unable to grow unless supplemented with compound Z. The mutants are then grown on minimal media supplemented with one of 6 chemicals all believed to be precursors to compound Z. A summary of the ability of the mutants to grow on media containing these chemicals is indicated below, where a “+” sign indicates growth and a “-” sign indicates no growth. mutant number precursors added to minimal medium A B C D E F Z 1 + + + - - - + 2 + + + + - - + 3 + + + + + - + 4 - - + - - - + 5 - - - - - - + 6 - + + - - - + 10. From the above chart, the enzyme that catalyzes the production of compound C appears to be mutant in strain: a) 1; b) 2; c) 3; d) 4; e) none of the above.
