electrophoresis Flashcards
what is a plasmid
small circular double stranded Dna molecule
what is transformation?
taking genetic info and putting it in another and able to express it
what living organism was in p glo lab? why?
E. coli bacteria multiplies quick easy to grow
what is an operon? how was it used?
cluster of genes that are all related. cut out genes from dna and replaced it with gene from jellyfish
how do u know if pglo was transformed?
if it glowed and growed
how could antibiotic resistance affect bacteria?
they could get used to it and gain resistance to it.
real world uses for transformation and dna prints
crime scene, baby daddy, pharmacutical products, hebicide resistant crops, genetic disease
how could antibiotic resistance affect other organisms?
if you’re sick you could be resistant to the antibiotic
hot water bath?
opens up holes in plasmid
calcium chloride?
pokes holes in bacterial cell wall
Ice?
close up holes and trap plasmid
how does bacteria live?
food-lb agar warmth- incubator darkness- incubator moisture- closed Petri dish
3 parts of a nucleotide?
sugar phosphate n base
gel electrophoresis?
separate dna fragments by size
genetic code of DNS is determined by what?
nitrogen bases
