Six students have taken samples of their own cheek cells, purified the DNA, and used an enzyme (endonuclease) known to cut at zero, one, or two sites in a particular gene of interest.
-They might be conducting such an experiment to ________.
A) find the location of a particular gene in the human genome
B) prepare to isolate the chromosome on which there is a particular gene of interest
C) find which of the students has which alleles
D) measure the expression of one or more genes in their genomes
E) determine if any of them carries an extra sex chromosome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using an endonuclease to cut DNA at specific sites can reveal variations in the DNA sequence among individuals, which can be used to identify different alleles of a gene. This technique does not directly inform about gene location, chromosome isolation, gene expression levels, or the number of sex chromosomes.
