Describe how restriction enzymes are used in recombinant DNA technology.

Question

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone. Today we have the following problem which are the statements below correctly describes the function of restriction enzymes in recombinant DNA technology. So, restriction enzymes have a specific role and they play the role to cut double stranded DNA at specific sites. Analyzing each of these statements, we start with statement one that says restriction enzymes cut DNA and specific sequences allowing scientists to fragment iIn ability DNA. Well, we know that this is true and most likely our answer statement two says that these enzymes exclusively cut DNA into single stranded fragments which are then used for RN A synthesis. Well, this is incorrect as the DNA fragments that are cut at double stranded DNA sequences or strands are transformed into RN A through RN A preliminary transcription processes statement three that says that these enzymes are responsible for directly joining DNA fragments together without requiring like ace or other enzymes. Well, this is incorrect as their primary role once again is to cut DNA. It multiplies his statement four, which is also incorrect as it states that these enzymes function by modifying DNA basis to prevent viral infections and bacterial cells. Well, this isn't true because their primary rule is to cut DNA not modify it. And so with that, we can conclude that statement, one is correct. Overall, I hope this helped. And until next time.
