Explain what restriction enzymes are, how they function and how they can be used to make recombinant DNA

Categorize the following as being associated with transformation, conjugation, or transduction. Note that some items may be associated with more than one process. Transformation Conjugation Transduction requires a virus can transfer dead bacterium's DNA to a new host cell efficient way to get naked plasmid into E. coli cells in the lab involves a pilus describes type of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria cells need to be competent process exploitod by biotechnology transfer requires at least two living bacteria alters bacterial genome

Some bacteria, through natural selection, have acquired some extremely potent enzymes that destroy viral DNA, thereby preventing the bacterial cell from becoming infected with the virus. These enzymes are called: Select one: O a. DNA polymerases O b. DNA ligases c. restriction endonucleases O d. restriction ligases

Describe the effect that digesting a DNA sample with a restriction enzyme has? How many bands and of what size appear in your undigested lane? How many bands and of what size appear in your digested lane?
