© Macmillan Learning A researcher is interested in following telomere localization in yeast. Although we know they are attached to the nuclear membrane, she has reason to believe that telomeres are more dynamic than initially thought. Which of the following strategies would work best to test this hypothesis? O Create a monoclonal antibody against a telomere resident protein and perform immunofluorescence using confocal microscopy. O Tag a telomere resident protein with GFP and perform fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). O Create a monoclonal antibody against a telomere resident protein and perform immunofluorescence using differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. O Tag a telomere resident protein with GFP and perform Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). O Create a monoclonal antibody against a telomere resident protein and perform immunofluorescence using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy.

Step 1
The researcher wants to investigate if telomeres, which are known to be attached to the nuclear membrane, are more dynamic than previously thought. The goal is to find a strategy to test this hypothesis of increased dynamism. Show more…

You wish to characterize how cells respond to certain stimuli. The most appropriate technique to use would be: a. Yeast 2-hybrid system. b. Differential centrifugation. c. Cell culture. d. Freeze-fracture, followed by transmission electron microscopy. e. Light microscopy. 2. Site-directed mutagenesis is used to: a. create genomic libraries. b. amplify DNA. c. determine the critical amino acid(s) in a protein that allow it to function. d. sequence DNA. e. determine the critical base-pair sequence(s) in a genome.

Researchers were trying to locate the Protein Clasp inside the cell. Immunofluorescence microscopy of STEK-1 cells was performed to identify the CLASP protein. The method used was gene fusion of Clasp with GFP, which helped visualize Clasp in the cytosol. Now, they would like to study the interaction of Clasp with the cytoskeletal filaments, actin and tubulin. They have the plan below. Will this work? Explain your answer. Primary antibody - host Secondary antibody Actin Sheep anti-actin Goat anti-sheep tagged red Tubulin Sheep anti-tubulin Goat anti-sheep tagged green
