The gene you are asked to clone is 30,000 bps in length. When you are choosing a suitable Restriction Endonuclease, what criteria about the enzyme can you deduce from the gene length?
Use the sequence provided and make use of figure 1 to determine what restriction enzyme uses the spesific recognition site and figure 2 and 3 to detremine how many times does the sequence occur in the λ DNA sequence?

What are the sizes of the DNA fragments that will be produced after the DNA is digested with RsaI?arrow_forward
- When linear DNA is sequenced, the nucleotide base pairs are numbered from the start to finish. a DNA molecule that is 3133 base pairs long is digested with RsaI restriction enzyme recognition sites at base numbers 366, 1534, and 2207. What are the sizes of the DNA fragments that will be produced after the DNA is digested with RsaI?arrow_forwardIf restriction endonucleases are produced by bacteria within a host, why don’t these enzymes chew up the genomic DNA of their host? What is the role of DNA methyltransferase in this? Indicate the answerarrow_forwardWhat is a restriction digest? What does it mean if you were given a precut DNA?arrow_forward
- How would the results of this activity have been different if the DNA sequence you digested were circular instead of linear? When restriction digests are performed and analyzed in the laboratory, one lane of the agarose gel is loaded with DNA ladders, which are DNA fragments of known sizes. What is the point of including these size standards?arrow_forwardA 2.0kb bacterial plasmid ‘BS1030’ is digested with the restriction endonuclease Sau3A; the plasmid map is depicted in the diagram below and the Sau3A (S) restriction sites are indicated. Which of the following DNA fragments do you expect to see on an agarose gel when you run Sau3A-digested plasmid ‘BS1030’ DNA? a. 250 bp, 450 bp, 550 bp, 1.1 kb, 1.5 kb and 2.0 kb b. 2.0kb c. 250 bp, 400 bp, 450 bp, 500 bp and 550 bp d. 100 bp, 200 bp, 250 bp, 400 bp, 500 bp and 550 bparrow_forwardConsider the ends of the DNA fragments shown below.
