A single-stranded DNA molecule contains 40 nucleotides with equal amounts of A, C, G, and T. This DNA strand can combine with a complementary DNA strand to form a double-stranded DNA molecule. Which structural feature is found in the single-stranded DNA molecule?

  1. It can have a negatively-charged backbone composed of nitrogenous bases.

  2. Each 3’,5’-phosphodiester bond will contain one phosphate group linking two deoxyribose sugars.

  3. It can have one end with a 5’-phosphate group while the other end has a 2’-hydroxyl group.

  4. Each purine and pyrimidine will be paired with a complementary base.

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.

Restriction fragment length polymorphism denotes that a single restriction enzyme produces fragments of different lengths from the same stretch of genomic DNA of different strains of a species or from different related species. RFLPs are detected as follows:

i.  Large molecular weight genomic DNA is isolated from several strains or related species;

ii.  The fragments in these digests are separated through electrophoresis

iii.  These 'DNAs are then digested with a selected restriction enzyme

iv.  Exposed to a suitably radio-labelled appropriate DNA probe under conditions favouring DNA: DNA hybridization

v.  The resulting gel lanes are transferred and fixed to a suitable solid support and

vi.   The free probes are removed

vii.  The fragments to which the probe has hybridized are detected by filming them as distinct bands on a suitable photofilm through autoradiography.
