A Graduate Student Wants to Create a Recombinant DNA Molecule $\rightarrow$

A graduate student wants to create a recombinant DNA molecule and introduce this molecule into bacteria. What is the CORRECT order of steps that he should follow?

A) choose plasmid/donor DNA $\rightarrow$ cut with restriction enzymes $\rightarrow$ join fragments via DNA ligase $\rightarrow$ transform bacteria
B) choose plasmid $\rightarrow$ cut with restriction enzymes $\rightarrow$ join fragments with DNA ligase $\rightarrow$ introduce donor DNA $\rightarrow$ transform bacteria
C) join plasmid and donor DNA using DNA ligase $\rightarrow$ cut with restriction enzymes $\rightarrow$ transform bacteria
D) transform bacteria $\rightarrow$ choose plasmid/donor DNA $\rightarrow$ join fragments with DNA ligase
E) cut plasmid/donor DNA with restriction enzymes $\rightarrow$ transform bacteria $\rightarrow$ isolate donor DNA/plasmid $\rightarrow$ join fragments with DNA ligase
