Using recombinant DNA techniques (which willbe described in Chapter 9), it is possible to take theDNA of a gene from any source and place it on achromosome in the nucleus of a yeast cell. Whenyou take the DNA for a human gene and put it into ayeast cell chromosome, the altered yeast cell canmake the human protein. But when you remove theDNA for a gene normally present on yeast mitochondrial chromosomes and put it on a yeast chromosome inthe nucleus, the yeast cell cannot synthesize the correctprotein, even though the gene comes from the sameorganism. Explain. What would you need to do to ensurethat such a yeast cell could make the correct protein?2. You are cloning the genome of a new DNA virus into pUC18. You plate out your transformants on ampicillin plates con-taining X-gal and pick one blue colony and one white colony. When you check the size of the inserts in each plasmid (blueand white), you are surprised to fi nd that the plasmid fromthe blue colony contains a very small insert of approximately60 bp, while the plasmid from the white colony does notappear to contain any insert at all. Explain these results.
