EASY
A foreign DNA and plasmid cut by the same restriction endonuclease can be joined to form a recombinant plasmid using
MEDIUM

Assertion (A): The fragments of DNA generated by the action of restriction endonucleases are separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Reason (R): The separated DNA fragments are visualised as bright orange coloured bands after staining with Ethidium Bromide followed by exposure to UV - radiation.

Which of the following is true?

MEDIUM
Identify the wrong statement with regard to restriction enzymes.
MEDIUM
In a restriction enzyme digestion experiment, a DNA fragment of 1 kilobases length is used. This fragment harbors three 5'-GAATTC-3' restriction sites. After the restriction digestion of this fragment with EcoRI, 3 DNA fragments corresponding to 500, 300 & 100 base pairs are observed in the agarose gel electrophoresis AGE. Predict the positions of the restriction site (GAATTC) in the undigested 1 kb-fragment which will result in the observed bands in AGE.
