Brenda is a junior student in the biomedical program at her school. She is starting the PCR genetic testing lab activity. She is about to obtain her DNA sample but doesn’t want like the taste of NaCl solution. Her friend, Mark, let her use some of his DNA. What laboratory tule did the students break? A. Obtaining and handling DNA sample without wearing googles or gloves B. Improper use of human DNA samples C. Violating Patient Confidentiality D. Disposing of bio hazardous material in a regular trash

A MLS supervisor is writing an Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for running a PC test for Hepatitis B DNA. There are several things she must include in the instructions to run the test.1. On average, how many PCR cycles must be run to see if the test is positive or negative for HBV?2. What would a positive test and a negative test look like?3. Her younger sister wants to know what she did at work today. How should she explain what happens during each step of the PCR cycle.
State the five basic steps of DNA fingerprinting using the RFLP method. Why do you think the PCR method is of more use in crime scene investigations?
Can you please check my answer and make sure it is correct. Question: How can DNA evidence be used to convict or exonerate a defendant? Why is DNA evidence so powerful? Answer: DNA evidence can be used to perform DNA profiling to determine the genotype of the specific DNA sample. With just a small amount of DNA, PCR can produce billions of copies of that specific segment. The segments that are used are from non-coding regions that contain STR’s or short tandem repeats. These very short DNA sequences are repeated and are specific to individuals because we inherit them from our mother and father. Gel electrophoresis separates the PCR products based on their size and each band is compared to the allele ladder. This process helps to identify the alleles present in the original samples. DNA profiling is performed at many loci to be able to tell the genetic difference between different individuals with a lot of certainty. The DNA from the different suspects is compared to the allele…
A health provider contacts you regarding a specific patient. They ask you to sequence this patient’s DNA and sends you her blood sample. You split the patient’s blood sample into three equal parts. With each part, you perform three different protocols of DNA extraction and purification. You analyze the resulting DNA using the nanodrop. Protocol A260/280 ng/ul DNA Total volume (ul) 1 2.02 50 60 2 1.45 156 200 3 0.30 300 120 d)Halfway through the electrophoresis of your gel you realized that rather than using a buffer to make up your gel, you actually used distilled water. Do you think this mistake would alter the outcome of your gel electrophoresis? Explain. e) If you added your DNA to a well in a gel without first mixing it with gel loading solution, would this impact the final results? Explain. f) Only after the run you realize that you forgot to add ethidium bromide to the gel. What will happen to your sample? What could you do to the gel after the run?
Can you please check my answer and see if it is correct. Question: In addition to master mix, what else must be added to each PCR tube? Why? Answer: In addition to master mix, the primers must be added to the PCR tubes. Each tube is also reserved for one individual’s specific section of DNA. So not only do primers needed to be added that are made specifically for the person’s DNA, but the DNA itself from the suspect needs to be added to the PCR tubes (DNA template strand). We also must have a control which contains sterile water, and one PCR tube reserved for DNA from the crime scene.
Can you please check my answer and make sure it is correct. Question: Describe the two roles primers play in PCR. Answer: Primers are short sequences of single stranded DNA that mark both the ends of the target sequence to be amplified during PCR. One primer attaches to the top strand at one end (forward primer) and the other one attaches to the bottom strand at the other end of the segment (reverse primer). They are made specifically to attach to these sections of DNA because the nucleotides of the primers are complementary to the target sequence. Other than marking the starting and end points for PCR, primers are also necessary for the process because without them, DNA polymerase wouldn’t be able to synthesize the complementary strand of DNA because it can only add nucleotides to an existing piece.
1. You are working as a CSI analyst. You collected DNA at a crime scene that is from the suspect but do not have enough to run a test to determine who the suspect is. Please discuss what you would do to attain more of the DNA and how to test the DNA to determine who the suspect is.2. Please discuss how the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens normally functions. Please also discuss how this bacterium can be used to help plants attain genes to help fight off insects and herbicides.
DNA EXTRACTION Materials: knife 1 cup of fruit Table salt clean piece of cloth or strainer for filtering resealable bag dishwashing liquid 70% rubbing alcohol (chilled) shot glass (or any transparent and narrow container resembling a test tube) How to do the extraction: Before you begin, make sure you have chilled your alcohol in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Room temperature alcohol will not work nearly as well as cold alcohol. Place about 50 mL of alcohol in the freezer to chill it and take it out only when you’re going to need it. (The alcohol will not actually freeze.) 1. The first thing you will need is a sample. Since DNA is found in all living…
