Question: Describe the activities of the enzymes required to construct a recombinant DNA molecule.
Look up one of the genetic diseases listed in Table 3-4. What gene is involved? What is the normal function of the protein encoded by the gene, and how does the gene defect produce the characteristic symptoms? How might this disease be treated through gene therapy?
Calculate the number of clones required to obtain with a probability of 0.99 a specific 5-kb fragment from C. elegans (Table 3-3).
Question: Identify the purines and pyrimidines commonly found in nucleic acids.
Using a three-dimensional computer model of the DNA molecule (such as shown in Interactive Exercise 1), identify each of the following structural features: the 3′ and 5′ end of each strand, the atoms that make up the sugar-phosphate backbone, the major and minor grooves, the bases in several base pairs, and the atoms that participate in hydrogen bonding in A =T and G=C base pairs.
