Question

Plasmid vectors are small, circular DNA molecules used in recombinant DNA procedures. A hypothetical plasmid, pSAP, is illustrated below. Label each feature of the plasmid with the phrase that best describes its function.

Part II

Suppose you have a DNA fragment you would like to insert into the pSAP plasmid. The fragment has PstI and EcoRI restriction endonuclease sites near the 5' end and HindIII and Smal restriction endonuclease sites near the 3' end. Choose the best restriction endonuclease(s) to digest the both the DNA fragment and pSAP.

Explanation / Answer

Ori = the site where DNA replication can begin

amp= a gene that allows cells to grow when exposed to certain conditions

Blue region = a region with multiple resrtiction sites....

EcoRI and HindIII
