a. Restriction enzymes are used for isolation of specific gene, which will be cloned. They are also used for the opening of vector, within which the target gene will be inserted. b. Vectors are used for delivery of the target gene into the cell, where cloning will be performed. c. DNA ligase is used for the formation of bond between target gene and vector. d. Electroporation is the method, by means of which entrance of DNA into the target cells is provided.

3.1 Describe the process of cloning a DNA fragment into the PstI site of the vector pBR322. How would you screen for clones that contain an insert?

At first, the DNA fragment and the vector pBR322 must be digested with the restriction enzyme PstI. Next, the digested fragment and the vector must be resolved in the agarose...

What criteria do restriction enzymes have to meet when deciding which to choose in order to clone a specific gene into the multiple cloning site of a plasmid (e.g. pUC18)?

The main criteria restriction enzymes must meet for the application in cloning a specific gene into the multiple cloning site of a plasmid are: - Flank the insert, but does...

Why must the restriction enzyme used for the digestion of TOL plasmid be inactivated immediately after the restriction experiment? How could this be achieved?

Incomplete inactivation of the restriction enzyme can cause ligation to fail. Also if the insert carries the restriction site it may be damaged by restriction enzyme. The common way to...

<ol><li>Explain the effects of triton on the activities of each of the enzymes (MDH and LDH). </li><li>Explain the observed distribution of the enzymes in terms of their metabolic roles. </li></ol>

1.On addition of triton to both enzymes MDH and LDH it renatures them. 2. Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts (biocatalysts). Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates,...

Name two enzymes (proteins) needed for DNA replication and briefly describe the function of the enzymes.

DNA primase and DNA polymeraseDNA primase provides the starting point for DNA polymerase to begin synthesis of the new strand.DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA molecules from de-oxyribonucleotides, which are the building...

1) Enzymes are in which state of matter (solid, liquid, gas)? 2) Can enzymes be converted into solid state? 3) Do enzymes function if they are converted into solid state?

Solution1.Enzymes are generally in fluid form to enable them carry out metabolic functions2. Enzymes can be converted to solid state3. Converting leads to denaturing of the enzymes, the active side...

1 What is the difference between dna ligase dna pol I and dna pol delta 2 does okazaki fragments joining begin during replication or after the end of elongation of replication?!

1. DNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between two DNA strands joining them together. DNA ligase is present in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and...

1)what is meant by restriction enzymes/ restriction site in cloning? 2)How these restriction sites aids in cloning process

1)Restriction enzymes prevents replication of the phage DNA by cutting it into many pieces.2) Aids in insert genes and other pieces of DNA into plasmids.
