Molecules A and B are positively charged, and molecule A is smaller than molecule B.

Molecules A and B are positively charged, and molecule A is larger than molecule B.

Molecules A and B are negatively charged, and molecule A is larger than molecule B.

What is a restriction enzyme?

An enzyme that add to the DNA strand

An enzyme that breaks down lipids

In gel electrophoresis, the largest DNA fragment will appear

farthest from the starting wells

three quarters away from the starting wells

it depends on how many fragments there are

What is the end goal of PCR?

Look at banding patterns of DNA

In a transformation experiment, a sample of E. coli bacteria was mixed with a plasmid containing the gene for resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (ampr). Plasmid was not added to a second sample. Samples were plated on nutrient agar plates, some of which were supplemented with the antibiotic ampicillin. The results of E. coli growth are summarized above. The shaded area represents extensive growth of bacteria; dots represent individual colonies of bacteria. Which of the following best explains why there is no growth on plate II?

The initial E. coli culture was not ampicillin resistant.

The transformation procedure killed the bacteria.

Nutrient agar inhibits E. coli grow

The bacteria on the plate were transformed.

In a transformation experiment, a sample of E. coli bacteria was mixed with a plasmid containing the gene for resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (ampr). Plasmid was not added to a second sample. Samples were plated on nutrient agar plates, some of which were supplemented with the antibiotic ampicillin. The results of E. coli growth are summarized above. The shaded area represents extensive growth of bacteria; dots represent individual colonies of bacteria. Plates I and III were included in the experimental design in order to

demonstrate that the E. coli cultures were viable.

demonstrate that the plasmid can lose its ampr gene.

demonstrate that the plasmid is needed for E. coli growth.

prepare the E. coli for transformation.

The shaded area represents extensive growth of bacteria; dots represent individual colonies of bacteria. Which of the following statements best explains why there are fewer colonies on plate IV than on plate III?

Not all E. coli cells are successfully transformed.

Plate IV is the positive control.

The bacteria on plate III did not mutate.

The plasmid inhibits E. coli growth.
