If you cut out a gene using the restriction enzymes EcoRI and BamHI, what enzyme(s) will you need to insert the gene into another chromosome?
A) EcoRI only
B) BamHI only
C) Both EcoRI and BamHI
D) Neither of these enzymes

To insert a gene into another chromosome using restriction enzymes, you need to use the same enzymes that were used to cut out the gene. This ensures that the ends of the gene and the chromosome have compatible sticky ends for ligation. Therefore, if EcoRI and BamHI were used to cut out the gene, both EcoRI and BamHI would be needed to insert the gene into another chromosome.
