how much BSA is needed to prepare 50 mL of 5 mg/ml of BSA (w/v)? - answer(50 mL)
(5 mg,mL) = 250 mg
a technician is assigned the task of inserting a gene, LanA, into a plasmid to ultimately
be expressed as a therapeutic protein in E coli. label the following steps (1-4) in the
correct order the technician must perform them to accomplish her task. - answer1)
design primers to amplify the lanA sequence using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
and perform the PCR reaction
2) digest and provide lanA PCR product and the plasmid with appropriate restriction
enzymes
3) use ligase to "paste" LanA into a plasmid
4) transform E. coli with plasmid containing LanA

- answer(100mL)(100mg/ML) = 10000mg (10g)
after performing the PCR reaction with the primers she designed to amplify lanA, the
same technician found her PCR reaction contained two distinct bands, one at the
