A researcher inserts a human gene X, which was amplified by PCR from a human genomic library, into a bacterial plasmid. After successful transformation of bacteria, a researcher lysed the bacteria and analyzed the cell lysate by ELISA using the primary antibodies against protein X, but the protein was not detected. This might be due the fact that bacterial cells don't have a machinery for ________. Select all that apply. RNA processing post-translational modifications protein folding protein trafficking splicing The protein in its secondary structure can be found in its final destination. True False

Laboratory 4 Plasmid isolation Homework: 1. Under the conditions of this experiment, what happens chemically to cause the denaturation of chromosomal DNA? What phenomenon helps to prevent the denaturation of plasmid DNA? 2. What chemical detergent is used to precipitate out chromosomal DNA and high molecular weight RNA? What effect(s) does this solution have in this experiment? 3. In this plasmid preparation procedure high and low molecular weight RNA are precipitated out and discarded. Why then, do we still add RNase in the final suspension? 4. In what direction does the DNA run along the electrophoresis gel? Why? 5. Ethidium Bromide is a powerful mutagen (extremely carcinogenic) that may be fatal if inhaled and harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. It causes irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, and may cause heritable genetic damage. What precautions should you take while working with EtBr in this lab?

The Office of Student Services at a large western state university maintains information on the study habits of its full-time students. Their studies indicate that the mean amount of time undergraduate students study per week is 20 hours. The hours studied follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of six hours. Suppose we select a random sample of 144 current students. What is the probability that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours? Select one: a. 0.9544 b. 0.9104 c. 0.0986 d. 0.044 e. 0.0160
