Please describe briefly what might happen to each of the following prokaryotes or eukaryotes under the described conditions:
1. An E. coli strain exposed to UV light and then placed in the dark as compared to the same strain left in natural light.
2. An yeast strain exposed to UV light and then placed in the dark as compared to the same strain left in natural light.
3. An E. coli strain with a mutation in a gene that codes for a DNA glycosylase and makes it nonfunctional.
4. A null mutation in E. coli in the gene that codes for the enzyme dam methylase which methlates the A residue of the GATC consensus.
5. A null mutation in the gene that codes for DNA methyl transferase in yeast.

A accidental genetic mutation in the lab mice has occurred and affects the glycogen degradation pathway. Dr. Wilson is studying this unexpected mutation and has taken samples of their livers. What he found was excessive glycogen storage but the glycogen structure was unusual. There was a lot of glycogen but size of each glycogen molecule was smaller and each chain end had 4 glucose units (alpha 1,4 bonds) and then a SINGLE glucose attached as a branch point (alpha 1,6 bond) to the 5th carbon from the end. Which enzyme in the glycogen degradation pathway is not working?
a.
| glycogen phosphorylase |
| b. | glycogen transferase |
| c. | alpha-1,6-glucosidase |
| d. | glucose 6-phosphatase |
| e. | phosphoglucomutase |

Consider a liver cell carrying out the oxidation of glucose under aerobic conditions. Suppose that we added a very potent and specific inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP synthase, completely inhibiting this enzyme. Indicate whether each of the following statements about the effect of this inhibitor is true or false; if false, please explain in detail why it is false.
(a) ATP production in the cell will quickly drop to zero.
(b) The rate of glucose consumption by this cell will decrease sharply.
(c) The rate of oxygen consumption will increase.
(d) The citric acid cycle will speed up to compensate.
(e) The cell will switch to fatty acid oxidation as an alternative to glucose oxidation, and the inhibitor will therefore have no effect on ATP production.

1. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been instrumental in our every-expanding pursuit of genomic knowledge. reverse transcriptase is an enzyme uses mRNA as a template and in the presence of dNTP's makes a compliments DNA (cDNA, still technically not a violation of the central dogma
A. if i engrafted all RNA's from a cell then purified the spliced and poly-adenylated mRNA, could i use reverse transcriptase and illumine sequencing. Explain your answer
B. If I wanted to compare this sample to another sample (say diseased vs normal) explain how indeces help with this process. Also explain this potential approach over qRT-PCr
