Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which type I, II, and III DNAs differ from one another.

Concept introduction: Different types of DNA structures whose presence depends on the cell type includes  closed circular, nicked circular and linear DNA. In closed circular DNA, the linear form of DNA is ligated using enzyme called as ligase, whereas the nicked DNA is an open circular DNA, which has a nick in it. Linear DNA is a long DNA with sequence strands. These types have different properties under different conditions.
