When a typical restriction enzyme cuts a...

When a typical restriction enzyme cuts a DNA molecule, the cuts are uneven, so that the DNA fragments have single-stranded ends. These ends are useful in recombinant DNA work because

A

they serve as starting points for DNA replication

B

only single-stranded DNA segments can code for proteins

C

they enable researchers to use the fragments as molecular probes

D

The fragments will bind to other fragments with complementary ends

When a typical restriction enzyme cuts a DNA moleule, the cuts are uneven so that the DNA fragments have single-stranded ends . These ends are useful in recombinant DNA work because :

The enzyme used to cut the DNA molecule is :

The enzyme that cuts DNA is :

The enzyme used to join the DNA fragments is :

The ends of DNA fragments are stickly due to

When cut by the same restriction enzyme, the resultant DNA fragments have the same kind of sticky-ends and these can be joined together (end to end) using

DNA fragments cut by restriction enzyme can be separated by

Enzymes that cut the DNA at desired points:
