A virus with a circular double-stranded DNA chromosome contains approximately 10,000 bp. You want to begin characterizing this chromosome by making a map of the cleavage sites of three restriction endonucleases: EcoRI, Hind III, and BamHI. You digest the viral DNA under conditions that allow the endonuclease reactions to go to completion and then subject the digested DNA to electrophoresis on agarose to determine the lengths of the restriction fragments produced in each reaction. Based on the resulting data, draw a map of the viral chromosome indicating the relative positions of the cleavage sites for these restriction endonucleases: Endonuclease EcoRI HindIII BamHI EcoRI+HindIII EcoRI + BamHI HindIII+BamHI EcoRI + HindIII + BamHI Length of fragments (kb) 6.9,3.1 5.1, 4.4, 0.5 10.0 3.6, 3.3, 1.5, 1.1, 0.5 5.1, 3.1, 1.8 4.4, 3.3, 1.8, 0.5 3.3, 1.8, 1.5, 1.1, 0.5

Question
A virus with a circular double-stranded DNA chromosome contains approximately 10,000 bp. You want to begin characterizing this
chromosome by making a map of the cleavage sites of three restriction endonucleases: EcoRI, Hind III, and BamHI. You digest the viral
DNA under conditions that allow the endonuclease reactions to go to completion and then subject the digested DNA to electrophoresis
on agarose to determine the lengths of the restriction fragments produced in each reaction. Based on the resulting data, draw a map of
the viral chromosome indicating the relative positions of the cleavage sites for these restriction endonucleases:
Endonuclease
EcoRI
HindIII
BamHI
EcoRI + HindIII
EcoRI + BamHI
HindIII+ BamHI
EcoRI + HindIII + BamHI
Length of fragments (kb)
6.9, 3.1
5.1, 4.4, 0.5
10.0
