A. After studying nutrition science, you should be knowledgeable about nutrition guidelines and how nutrition can affect health. Please demonstrate what you have learned by explaining the following:

  • Using terms and concepts that you have learned in this course, examine 8 aspects of your own diet, and explain any changes you may or may not make. For full credit, support each of your 8 choices with facts from the readings. (For example, currently, I rarely eat any nuts. So, I will start eating one ounce of nuts a day because it will improve my cholesterol level, which will reduce my risk for heart disease. Note: you may not use this example.) [32 points]

B. Explain how nutrients affect disease prevention and management. Make your answer specific with examples. Link the nutrient or nutrients you discuss to a condition. (For example, vitamin C deficiency is linked to scurvy. Note: you may not use this example). For full credit, you must provide at least three examples of how nutrient levels can be related to disease prevention and management. [18 points]

  1. You are interested in cloning a gene from the B. sanfranciscus genome, so you design PCR primers that should amplify a 1 kilobase pair (kbp) PCR product that contains the gene of interest.  After amplification, you will see if the PCR  was successful by loading the entire reaction onto an agarose gel and performing electrophoresis to see if a product of the expected size was generated.  To visualize the DNA, you will stain the gel with a fluorescent dye called ethidium bromide, which fluoresces when it binds to DNA. The sensitivity of ethidium-bromide-stained DNA is 10 nanograms (i.e. – there must be at least 10 ng of DNA in the band in the gel to emit a detectable amount of light).

If your PCR reaction initially contained 30 B. sanfranciscus genomes, how many cycles of PCR will required before there is a detectable amount of amplified product?  You can assume:  a) there is 1 copy of the gene per genome, b) the PCR occurs with perfect efficiency and therefore the amount of product doubles after each cycle, and, c) that the molecular weight of a 1 kbp molecule of DNA is 6.5 x 105Daltons. Express your answer in the number of complete (not fractional) cycles and show your work.
