What kind of molecule must be and ldquolabeled and to make radioactively labeled DNA?
To create radioactively labeled DNA, the molecule that must be labeled is a nucleotide. Specifically, one of the nucleotides (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine) can be modified to include a radioactive isotope, such as phosphorus-32 or tritium. When these labeled nucleotides are incorporated into a DNA strand during replication or synthesis, the entire DNA molecule becomes radioactively labeled. This technique is often used in molecular biology for various applications, including tracking DNA synthesis and conducting hybridization experiments.
What kind of molecule must be labeled to make radioactively labeled DNA?
Radioactive nucleotide
What enzyme us used to make radioactively labeled DNA?
DNA polymerase
How is a radioactively labeled probe made?
A radioactively labeled probe is made by attaching a radioactive isotope to a nucleic acid molecule, such as DNA or RNA, which is complementary to the target sequence of interest. This is typically done by incorporating the radioactive nucleotide during the synthesis of the probe or by labeling the probe post-synthesis through various chemical methods. The choice of isotope, such as phosphorus-32 or sulfur-35, depends on the specific application and detection requirements. After labeling, the probe can be used in techniques like hybridization to detect specific nucleic acid sequences in various biological samples.
What of the following reactions is used to radioactively label DNA?
The reaction that is commonly used to radioactively label DNA is the nick translation method, where a DNA molecule is treated with a DNA polymerase, dNTPs (including radioactive ones), and a DNAase to create radioactive labeled DNA fragments.

How is radioactively labeled probe made?
A radioactively labeled probe is created by attaching a radioactive isotope, such as phosphorus-32 or carbon-14, to a nucleic acid molecule (DNA or RNA). This is typically achieved through chemical methods that incorporate the radioactive isotope during the synthesis of the nucleic acid or by enzymatic labeling, where enzymes incorporate labeled nucleotides into the growing nucleic acid strand. The resulting probe can then be used in various applications, such as hybridization assays, to detect specific sequences of nucleic acids. Proper safety protocols must be followed due to the radioactive materials involved.
Can DNA polymerase be used to determine the general location of radioactively labeled DNA?
Geiger Counter
You briefly expose bacteria undergoing DNA replication to radioactively labeled nucleotides when you centrifuge the DNA isolated from the bacteria the DNA separates into two classes one class of la?
The DNA separated into two classes: labeled DNA and unlabeled DNA. The labeled DNA contains the radioactively labeled nucleotides that were incorporated during DNA replication, while the unlabeled DNA represents the original, non-radioactively labeled DNA from the bacteria. The centrifugation process separated the DNA based on density, with the heavier labeled DNA migrating to a higher position in the centrifuge tube compared to the unlabeled DNA.
Cells of the pancreas will incorporate radioactively labeled amino acids into proteins?
ER golgi vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane
