You are now ready to transfer the piece of recombinant DNA you have prepared to the cat. You want to be sure that the transgenic cat you create will be able to pass the fluorescence on to its offspring. What is the best type of cell to transfer the recombinant DNA to?

You are trying to start a company to clone aging pet cats so that owners can always have their favorite cat with them. A) In the process of cloning by nuclear transfer (SCNT), the donor and the recipient animals need to be genetically distinguishable. Explain why this is the case and name one way to genetically distinguish between the donor and the recipient animal. B) The success rate of SCNT in part A turns out to be quite low. You decide to observe the cloned embryos and notice that some of the embryos are only partially cleaved. Describe a strategy you could use to achieve a greater success using these partially cleaved embryos. Explain why this method would yield greater success.

You are cloning a gene from a eukaryotic organism into a plasmid to produce a recombinant protein in bacteria. Put the following steps in the correct order. 1. Isolate the mRNA 2. Synthesize cDNA 3. Digest the plasmid with the same restriction enzymes 4. Insert the gene into the plasmid by ligation reaction 5. Transform the bacteria with the plasmid you constructed 6. Plate the transformation reaction 7. Grow bacteria for the expression of the gene you cloned 8. Screen the colonies that contain the right construct 9. Run an agarose gel and isolate the DNA fragments 10. Create restriction sites by PCR

You are carrying out a molecular cloning experiment where you have the cDNA that codes for the protein called X. You have digested the cDNA with EcoRI, ligated it to a plasmid, transformed E. coli with the ligation mixture, and obtained bacterial colonies on an antibiotic-containing agar plate. While some of the bacterial colonies will contain hybrid DNA (that is, have your insert present in the plasmid), some bacteria will have a plasmid that does not contain your insert, as the plasmid was able to re-ligate without insert. You purify plasmid DNA from different bacterial colonies, some containing hybrid DNA that contains your insert and some that do not contain your insert. Name two experiments that would allow you to determine which of the purified plasmids contain the insert?
