Question

You create a bacteriophage in the lab to conduct experiments. It is composed of a protein coat from a T4 bactiophage and the DNA from a T6 bacteriophage. T4 Protein Cnat TA DNA You infect some bacteria with your experimentally constructed bacteriophage. The experiment is successful and new phages are produced. What kind of bacteriophage DNA would the new phages carry, T4 or T6? What kind of bacteriophage protein coat would the new phages have, T4 or T6? 1. 2. 3. Explanation for your answer to problem 2. DNA, ? mRNA Proteins Figure 1: Central Dogm...& exception Refer to Figure 1. There have been exceptions found to the central dogma, like the process shown in C. Give one example of this reverse process 4.

Explanation / Answer

1. T6. Since the DNA is present for T6 the DNA and the proteins coded will be of the T6 phage, the infomation is contained in nucleic acid and not protein which is why t4 phages aren't produced..

2. T6.

3. DNA to mRNA - transcription

mRNA to DNA- reverse transcriptase

mRNA to protein- translation

4. This process is called reverse transcription wherein RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA by an enzyme called reverse transcriptase.
