A segment of DNA is isolated and added to a 01 mixture of four deoxynucleotides, two specific oligonucleotide sequences, and heat-stable DNA polymerase. The mixture is then heated to denature the DNA, cooled, and reheated in a number of cycles. Which of the following laboratory techniques does this describe? (A) Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (B) Gel electrophoresis (C) Northern blot (D) Polymerase chain reaction (E) Sequencing (F) Southern blot (G) Western blot

A plaque assay is performed beginning with 1 mL of a solution containing bacteriophages. This solution is serially diluted three times by combining 0.1 mL of each sequential dilution with 9.9 mL of liquid medium. Then 0.1 mL of the final dilution is plated in the plaque assay and yields 17 plaques. What is the initial density of bacteriophages in the original 1 mL?

(ii) After PCR, the amplification control has failed to yield a product. (iii) DNA is stored overnight in a refrigerator set at 8oC but reads 14 oC. (iv) An isolated DNA sample is to be stored for at least 6 months. (v) The expiration date on a reagent has passed. (b) Explain briefly about genetic testing for new-born, including the importance of genetic testing and the disorder that genetic testing can detect.
A B Figure 1 The postgraduate student, Vanessa, cloned her gene of interest into two different vectors; pUC18 and pZERO®-1, and transformed the competent cells with the recombinant vectors. After that, she plated them on the antibiotic plates and incubated her samples for 18 hours. The next day, she realized that the plates were not labelled. (i) Based on the observation above, can you identify which plate is carrying the recombinant pUC18 and pZErOⓇ-1, respectively? (ii) Why are there small colonies surrounding the big colonies in Figure 1 (A)? Explain your answer in detail. (iii) Do you think all the colonies present on the plates in Figure 1 (B) contain the gene of interest? Describe the selection procedures for recombinant pZErO®-1.
