A plasmid DNA and a linear DNA (both of ...

A plasmid DNA and a linear DNA (both of the same size) have one site for a restriction endonuclease. When cut and separated on agarose gel electrophoresis, plasmid shows one DNA band while linear DNA shows two fragments. Explain.

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of Assertion. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reasons is not a correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertions and Reasons are false. Assertion:Three main types of restriction endonucleases i.e., Type I, Type II and Type III are known with slightly different mode of action. Reason:In palindromes with rotational symmetry second half of complementary strand in DNA double helix is the mirror image of base sequence in the first half of another strand.

Make a chart (with diagrammatic representation) showing a restriction enzyme, the substrate DNA on which it acts, the site at which it cuts DNA and the product it produces.
