Answer to Problem 5MI
The correct term is given in the table:
S. No. | Term |
1. | Restriction enzymes |
2. | Gel electrophoresis |
3. | Restriction enzymes |
4. | Sticky ends |
5. | EcoRI |
6. | Sticky ends |
7. | Restriction enzymes |
8. | Blunt ends |
9. | Blunt ends |
Explanation of Solution
Scientists uses restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific sequences, and gel electrophoresis to separate fragments based on size. Some restriction enzymes create DNA with single-stranded, sticky ends. Eco RI is an example of this type of enzyme. The resulting DNA fragments can be joined with other DNA fragments that have complementary sticky ends. Other restriction enzymes create blunt ends, which can be joined to another DNA fragment that has blunt ends.
