Which of the following is an example of "recombinant DNA technology?" a)combining alternate alleles of a gene in a single cell b)manipulating a meiotic crossing-over event c)cloning genes from homologous pairs of chromosomes d)introducing a human gene into a bacterial plasmid e)alternate alleles assorting independently

3. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. How does a bacterial cell protect its own DNA from restriction enzymes? a) by forming "sticky ends" of bacterial DNA to prevent the enzyme from attaching b) by using DNA ligase to seal the bacterial DNA into a closed circle c) by reinforcing the bacterial DNA structure with covalent phosphodiester bonds d) by adding histones to protect the double-stranded DNA e) by adding methyl groups to adenines and cytosines

6. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. You have a restriction enzyme that makes a blunt cut between an A and a T. What will the size of the DNA fragments be after the following DNA molecule is cut with this restriction enzyme: 5′-TTGTTCGGATCCCGTAGG-3′? a)one 9-bp fragment, one 6-bp fragment, and one 3- bp fragment b)one 15-bp fragment and one 3-bp fragment c)one 18-bp fragment d)two 9-bp fragments

7. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. You have isolated this eukaryotic gene and wish to express the protein it codes for in a culture of recombinant bacteria. Will you be able to produce a functioning protein with the gene as is? a)yes b)No, the exons will need to be cut out and the introns spliced back together. c)No, the introns will need to be cut out and the exons spliced back together. d)No, the exons will need to be cut out, the introns translated individually, and the peptides bound together after translation.

8. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. This segment of DNA is cut at restriction sites 1 and 2, which creates restriction fragments A, B, and C. Which of the following electrophoretic gels represents the separation of these fragments? a)Answer a b) c)Answer d)

9. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. A dideoxy chain-terminating sequencing reaction produces the following batch of labeled DNA strands. What is the sequence of the template DNA strand? a)5′-AGGCTT-3′ b)5′-AAGCCT-3′ c)5′-TCCGAA-3′ d)5′-TTCGGA-3′
