Wild type E. coli metabolizes the sugar lactose by expressing the enzyme ß-galactosidase. You have isolated a mutant that you call lac1–, which cannot synthesize ß-galactosidase and cannot grow on lactose (Lac–). During an condition Lac– strain, called lac3–, is linked to the Tn5 insertion. From a strain carrying the Tn5 insertion and lac3– mutation you isolate an F’ that caries a region of the chromosome that includes both Tn5 and the linked Lac region. Introduce this F’ into an F– strain carrying lac1– by selecting for Kanr. These merodiploids express ß-galactosidase normally. What does this result tell you about the relationship between the lac3– and lac1- mutations?

You are practicing designing primers that you can use in PCR reactions. You want your primers to allow you to amplify the sequence found below.
 

 
(a) 5’-ACTTCGATATGTCTAAAATAC-3’ and 5’- CGGTAGCGTCTCTGGTTAGCT -3’
(b) 5’-TGAAGCTATACAGATTTTATG-3’ and 5’-GCCATCGCAGAGACCAATCGA-3’
(c) 5’-GTATTTTAGACATATCGAAGT -3’ and 5’-AGCTAACCAGAGACGCTACCG-3’
You are asked to design a 15-nucleotide-long primer that could potentially hybridize to a portion of a specific mRNA that encodes the protein sequence N-Met-Ala-Tyr-Trp-Pro-C. How many different primers would you have to design in order to ensure that one of them will in fact hybridize along its full length to the mRNA?
