Which of the following are evidence-based interventions to improve patient safety?

Extreme thermophilic DNA polymerases like Vent and DeepVent have decreased accuracy (fidelity) when compared to Taq polymerase because of their proofreading activity. 

Which component is NOT included in the PES format of a nursing diagnosis?

Extreme thermophilic DNA polymerases like Vent and DeepVent have increased accuracy (fidelity) when compared to Taq polymerase because of their proofreading activity. 

Binding to foreign DNA by the Cas complexes relies on the sequence of the spacer RNA part of the guide RNA.

True/False. One mechanism that phage use to evade a cell’s restriction/modification system is to produce proteins that block access of the restriction enzymes to the phage DNA. 

You are developing an experiment to determining the quantity of DNA target molecules in a sample. Which of the three PCR techniques (“Regular” PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR) would be most appropriate for this?

Which of these statements is true about the CRISPR-Cas system?

True/False. Recognition of foreign DNA by the Cas complexes relies on RNA-DNA interactions.

If a codon for an amino acid is 5’GAU3′ then what is the anticodon that would recognize this codon? For your answer write ONLY the sequence of the codon in the 5′ to 3′ direction. Do not add the 5′ or 3′ numbers and do not use any other punctuation. Your answer should look like: GGG
