Question

The horizontal line represents the whole genome of Lambda DNA (a virus that infects a bacterial cell).  The genome is 48,502 base pairs long.  You are going to estimate the number and length in base pairs the fragments that result from cutting the lambda genome with three different enzymes (Eco R1, Hind III and Bam H1) 

 Keep in mind that you are working with a linearized lambda DNA (has ends) because the DNA has been heated to 65oC and therefore, the cos site is not intact (not annealed)

Procedure
Restriction maps for Lambda DNA
Lambda DNA may exist as a linear or circular molecule. The linear Lambda DNA is 48,502 base
pairs in length. It contains five EcoR I restriction sites or cleavage sites. These restriction sites are
illustrated below. Each number indicates the distance, in base pairs, that the restriction site is located
from the end of the linear Lambda DNA molecule. Hind III recognizes seven. restriction sites.
BamH I recognizes five sites. Figures 1–3 show the restriction sites for the enzymės we will use. In
the spaces provided below each map, calculate the size, in base pairs, of the individual fragments
produced by each enzyme.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

The restriction enzyme is the restriction endonuclease which recognises and cut at the specific sequence in either a staggered or blunt manner.

The given genome is of Lambda phage whose cos site is not intact. The cos sites help in the circularization of phage DNA when present. Due to the loss of cos site, the genome of lambda phage will remain linear and will not circularize.
