Question
3) What is the most logical sequence of steps for splicing foreign DNA into a plasmid and inserting the plasmid into a bacterium?
I-Transform bacteria with recombinant DNA molecule.
II-Cut the plasmid DNA using restriction enzymes.
III-Extract plasmid DNA from bacterial cells.
IV-Hydrogen-bond the plasmid DNA to nonplasmid DNA fragments.
V-Use ligase to seal plasmid DNA to nonplasmid DNA.
A) I, II, IV, III, V.
B) II, III, V, IV, I.
C) III, II, IV, V, I.
