In recombinant DNA technology, vectors are used to transfer a gene of
interest in the host cells. Mention any three features of vectors that are most
suitable for this purpose.
The experiment will not likely to be affected as recombinant DNA molecule is circular closed, with no free ends. Hence, it will not be a substrate for exonuclease enzyme which...
After identifying a useful gene in bacteria, following steps should be undertaken
(1) Isolation of useful gene using Restriction Endonucleases
↓
(2) Transferring...
i. Restriction endonucleases: for cutting the desired DNA at desired places
ii. Gel electrophoresis: for separating the desired DNA fragments
iii. Ligase enzyme: for creating recombinant DNA molecule.
iv. DNA delivery system: like...
The experiment will not likely to be affected as recombinant DNA molecule is circular closed, with no free ends. Hence, it will not be a substrate for exonuclease enzyme which removes nucleotides...
In the absence of antibiotic, there will be no pressure on recombinants to retain the plasmid (containing the gene of your interest). Since, maintaining a high copy number of plasmids...
Gel electrophoresis , Since DNA fragments are negatively charged , they move towards anode (under an electric field ) through a medium / matrix / agarose gel , The fragments...
