Can Restriction Enzymes be used on all DNA?
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at sites called restriction sites on the DNA. These restriction sites are specific sequences of 6 - 8 nucleotide bases. Restriction enzymes can be used on all types of DNA. If the DNA is cut by a certain restriction enzyme, then we know that the DNA contained the restriction site. This sort of an experiment is called restriction site analysis
What enzyme do scientists use to cut genes out of strands if DNA?
restriction enzymes
How are restriction maps and DNA fingerprints similar?
Dna fingerprints are a type of restriction maps.
Restriction enzymes are specific in their identification of what?
yes they are....it depends on the presence of the restriction sites in the DNA
What is restriction analysis?
restriction analysis is Comparison of DNA patterns.

How do restriction sites and a restriction map relate?
Restriction maps show the lengths of DNA fragments between restriction sites in a strand of DNA.
How are restriction maps and DNA fingerprints similar?
Dna fingerprints are a type of restriction maps.
Which pair of enzymes is necessary to make recombinant DNA?
Actually the answer would be Restriction enzyme and DNA ligase.
Enzymes used to cut DNA molecules in recombinant DNA researsh are?
restriction enzymes
Restriction enzymes are specific in their identification of what?
yes they are....it depends on the presence of the restriction sites in the DNA
What is a DNA restriction site?
The restriction site is a sequence of DNA that is recognized by an endonuclease, or a protein that cuts DNA, as a site at which the DNA is to be cut. This cutting happens when restriction enzyme cleaves nucleotides by hydrolyzing the phosphodiester bond between them.
What is restriction analysis?
restriction analysis is Comparison of DNA patterns.
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes
What is a restriction map?
A restriction map plots restriction sites within a chain of DNA. You cannot create a restriction map without restriction enzymes. Restriction sites are points in a DNA molecule that contain certain strings of nucleotides, which can only be identified by restriction enzymes.
What does a geneticist use to cut DNA at specific base sequences?
Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are used to cut DNA into smaller fragments. Restriction enzymes are found in bacteria, where they act like molecular scissors by cutting up DNA from invading viruses or bacteriophages. Each restriction enzyme recognizes a specific nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA at that site. This process makes restriction enzymes extremely useful in biotechnology where they are used in procedures such as DNA cloning, DNA fingerprinting, and genetic engineering. There are hundreds of known restriction enzymes, and each one was named for the bacteria from which it was isolated. For example, EcoRI was isolated from Escherichia coli and HaeIII from Haemophilus aegyptius.
