**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Plasmid and Linear DNA**: - Plasmid DNA is typically circular in shape, while linear DNA is straight and has terminal ends. Both types of DNA can be cut by restriction endonucleases at specific sites. 2. **Role of Restriction Endonucleases**: - Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences. In this case, both the plasmid and linear DNA have one site for the restriction endonuclease. ...
