A researcher introduces double-stranded RNA into a culture of mammalian cells and can identify its location or that of its smaller subsections experimentally, using a fluorescent probe. When she finds that the introduced strand separates into single-stranded RNAs, what other evidence of this single-stranded RNA piece's activity would she find?

#SCPH05 I Biotechnology
  1. She can measure the degradation rate of the remaining single strand.

  2. The rate of accumulation of the polypeptide encoded by the target mRNA is reduced.

  3. The amount of miRNA is multiplied by its replication.

  4. The cell's translation ability is entirely shut down.

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.
