First Experiment



1

The coding sequence for somatostatin came from
A)A cDNA clone
B)A genomic clone
C)The linkage of several oligonucleotides
D)None of the above
2

If somatostatin was not linked to?β-galactosidase,
A)It caused the bacterial cells to die.
B)It was rapidly degraded.
C)It was overproduced.
D)It formed a polymer that was difficult to purify.
3

When somatostatin was in the wrong orientation, we would expect that
A)It would be expressed with the reverse amino acid sequence.
B)It would be expressed, but not as a fusion protein.
C)It would not be expressed because it was not correctly linked to a promoter.
D)It would not be expressed because the promoter was not inducible with IPTG.
4

In this experiment, the purpose of adding IPTG was to
A)Turn on the lac promoter
B)Cause β-galactosidase to fuse with somatostatin
C)Cause?β-galactosidase to be separated from somatostatin
D)None of the above
5

The covalent bond between?β-galactosidase and somatostatin was broken by
A)IPTG
B)70% formic acid
C)CaCl2
D)Cyanogen bromide
