DNA from an organism can be incorporated into a vector using the enzyme _____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA ligase is the enzyme that is used to "seal" the gaps between the cuts made by restriction endonucleases in a process called ligation. This results in the insertion of the DNA fragment into the vector DNA. DNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands, RNA polymerase is responsible for making RNA, and restriction endonucleases are used to cut DNA at specific sequences for cloning purposes.
