The restriction enzymes that are used in construction of recombinant DNA molecule are endonuclease

Monjur Alahi

The restriction enzymes that are used in construction of recombinant DNA molecule are endonucleases which cut the DNA at ‘specificrecognition sequence’. What would be the disadvantage if they would not cut the DNA at specific-recognition sequence?

If the restriction enzymes would cut DNA at random sites instead of at specific sites, then the DNA fragments obtained will not have ‘sticky ends’. In the absence of sticky ends, construction of recombinant DNA molecule would not be possible.​

In recombinant DNA technology, vectors are used to transfer a gene of interest in the host cells.

(i) Have origin of replication(Ori) (ii) a selectable marker (iii) at least one recognition site.

What would happen when you grow a recombinant in a bioreactor but forget to add antibiotic to the medium in which the recombinant is growing.

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...
