Question

Place the correct terms into the statements about how restriction enzymes work.

DNA polymerase-operator-restriction site-DNA ligase- phosphodiester bonds-blunt ends-sticky ends-restricition enzymes-ligase

1-A(n)_______ is a section of DNA recognized by a restriction endonuclease.

2-the enzyme ____ is then used to join fragments of DNA that have been cut with same restriction enzymes.

3-restriction endonucleases that produce ____ are preferred for recombinant DNA technology.

4- in genetic engineering ,genes are isolated and inserted into other DNA ,producing recombinant DNA.to do this ,both the source and the vector DNA are first cut into fragments by______

Explanation / Answer

1-A(n) restriction site is a section of DNA recognized by a restriction endonuclease.

2. the enzyme DNA ligase is then used to join fragments of DNA that have been cut with same restriction enzymes.

3. restriction endonucleases that produce sticky ends are preferred for recombinant DNA technology.

4. in genetic engineering ,genes are isolated and inserted into other DNA ,producing recombinant DNA.to do this ,both the source and the vector DNA are first cut into fragments by restriction enzymes.
