Q

Traditional PCR vs rtPCR

A

-traditional = detection, DNA bands, primer increases

-rtPCR=probes or dyes (not primers), peak on graph (not bands), quantify it

16
Q

-expressed when allele is present, antigen appears every generation

-expressed when one is homozygous for allele and inherits from parents

-girl chromosomes and boy

A

-autosomal dominance
-autosomal recessive
-XX
-XY

17
Q

-father carries trait on X. All daughters will have the trait but not sons because sons get Y

-daughter will inherit the train in autosomal recessive way and sons will express it. when does this occur?

A

-X-linked
dominant

-if mom is X-linked trait, homozygouse for allele

18
Q

-genes for different traits are inherited separately from each other

-two or more genes close to each other at loci tend to be inherited together. Do not assort independently. Two genes close to each are found together more times than chance alone

A

independent assortment

-linkage disequilibrium phenomenon

18
Q

-3-5 direction is
-Which has less contamination: rtPCR or traditiona?

A

-template strand
-rtPCR

19
Q

Reverse transcription performed by
is it RNA dependent or DNA

A

retroviruses
-RNA dependent DNA pol b/c makes DNA from RNA

20
Q

-polymerase is inhibited by
-this requires more than one primer and detects more than two or more organisms

A

-heparin
-Multi-plex

21
Q

-Which PCR is more sensitive
-amplifies signal

A

Nested
Branched

22
Q

What do you put on Maldi-tof after colony dries out?
separated based on?

A

formic acid, laser will transfer protons to colony

mass to charge ratio

23
Q

-western blot
-northern blot
-southern blot
-which part of gene is translated into a protein

A

-proteins
-RNA
-DNA
-exon

24
Q
  • How can false negative in PCR be detected
  • most sensitive for viral meningitis: PCR or rtPCR?
  • -what gene amplified in MRSA from CNS MRSA
A

-by using internal control
-rtPCR
-mecA/orfX gene

25
Q

—— scatter is related to cell size and —– scatter to granularity

A

forward/side

26
Q

-high frequency of mutation nucleotide

A

-cytosine

27
Q

Facts

-Males can’t be heterozygous for X or Y since they only carry one copy. Hemizygous. Phenotypes are always expressed in them.
-maternal is mode of inheritance of mitochondrial DNA
-primers made using 16S subunit

A

-DNA more stable than RNA but RNA:RNA resistant to denaturation followed by RNA:DNA, DNA:DNA

28
Q

—— joins nucleotides of DNA and hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases

A

Phosphodiester bond

29
Q

-adenine and guanines are
-uracil-N-glycolase used to contain

A

purines
contamination, removes uracil in DNA strands

30
Q

homology
