What is the substance required to cleave the vector DNA during recombinant DNA technology?
A)restriction enzymes
B)DNA ligase
C)plasmids
D)vectors
E)DNA helicase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restriction enzymes are used to cleave the vector DNA during recombinant DNA technology. These enzymes recognize specific sequences in the DNA and cut the DNA at those sites, allowing for the insertion of foreign DNA. DNA ligase is used to join the cut vector DNA and foreign DNA together. Plasmids and vectors refer to the same thing in this context and are the DNA molecules used to carry the foreign DNA into the host cell. DNA helicase is not involved in the process of cleaving the vector DNA.
