Q

What does the color dark blue or dark green mean?

A

it mean that a reaction happened between the iodine and the starch solution. A reaction took place because the iodine reacts well with unhydrolyzed starch.. meaning the amylase enzyme had not yet broken the alpha 1-4 glycosidic bonds. Enzyme is inactive.

Q

What does it mean when the color is yellow?

A

this means the enzyme is activated because the starch solution is hydrolyzed. Iodine does not react with hydrolyzed amylase. Remeber, iodine sits in the helic, if the helic breaks, it loses its color.

84
Q

What happens when the electric field is activated for the gel electrophoresis? (Hint: think specifically about the fragmanets of DNA)

A

Fragments of different sizes separate into distinct bands stained by gel.

85
Q

What does the buffer solution do for the gel electrophoresis?

A

maintains the pH of the nucleic acids tested.

86
Q

Controls and experiment bands should look the same.. What happened if they don’t?

A

controls show the DNA fragments breakdown when not being degraded. When they don’t duplicate the controls, this means the samples have been degraded meaning their enzymes, DNAses and RNAses have sped up the reaction of breaking the phosphodiester bonds quicker than the control. This shows the stability difference in RNA and DNA by comparing it to the control that wasn’t degraded.

87
Q

Because the shorter fragmnents travel faster through the gel, why do we call it RNA?

A

Because smaller fragments are degraded faster than the original control… meaning it is less stable than DNA
