What is a clone? A. An exact copy of DNA, a cell, or an organism. B. Any organism that contains recombinant DNA. C. Any protein that is produced by a transgenic organism. D. Any cell that includes DNA from more than one species. E. Any organism produced by a parent with recombinant DNA. A particular restriction enzyme always cuts at the base sequence "AATT." If you were to use this restriction enzyme on the double-stranded DNA segment shown here, how many fragments would result? A. 4 B. 3 C. 5 D. 1 E. 2

Step 1
It is a type of enzyme that cuts DNA at specific sequences, in this case, "AATT". However, without the actual DNA sequence provided in the question, it's impossible to determine how many fragments would result from using this restriction enzyme. Show more…

The process of cloning genes into a new context is composed of 3 different techniques: restriction digestions of DNA, ligation of DNA, and the use of plasmids to transform new organisms. Which of the following statements is true regarding DNA cloning technology DNA ligase recognizes one or a few target sequences in DNA before cutting occurs DNA target sequences are recognized and cut by restriction enzymes Plasmids are used often because they are extremely complex. . Recombinant DNA is formed when bacterial cells reproduce asexually

You want to clone a human DNA sequence into a plasmid. This DNA fragment was cut out of the human genome with restriction enzyme SunI, whose restriction site is shown in the figure below. This figure also shows the multiple cloning region of your plasmid, with the potential restriction sites marked. A. Which of these restriction enzymes could be used to cleave the plasmid for successful insertion of this human DNA fragment? Note that there could be more than one correct answer. B. Briefly explain how you would go about cloning the fragment into the plasmid. C. You successfully clone the human DNA into the plasmid and store it in the freezer. Several months later, your advisor asks you to use this recombinant plasmid to prepare a large quantity of the human insert sequence with as little plasmid sequence as possible. Can you do this with restriction enzymes? What enzymes would you choose?

Highly repetitive sequences of DNA: a) are characteristic of genes that code for biochemical traits rather than structural traits. b) are used in biotechnology when creating a clone. c) are produced when a mutation occurs in a non-sex cell. d) can be used to produce a DNA fingerprint. e) are produced when a mutation occurs in a sperm-producing or egg-producing cell.
