A. True

B. False

Deoxyribose nucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) mix is an essential component in PCR. What does the dNTP mixture contain?

Magnesium chloride and Taq polymerase

Magnesium chloride, ATP, and nucleotides

Adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine

Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine

A.

Magnesium chloride and Taq polymerase

B.

Magnesium chloride, ATP, and nucleotides

C.

Adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine

D.

Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine

Explanation / Answer

1. Cells that go through the rDNA process are then placed on a selective antibiotic media that also contains X-gal. Colonies of cells that appear white on the media have the recombinant form of the plasmid.  

The above statement is - True.

Colonies that do not hold the recombinant plasmid appears blue.

2. The answer is -  Magnesium chloride, ATP, and nucleotides

dNTP mix used in PCR contains, magnesium chloride, dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP.
