Shearing is something that happens when two plates from transform boundaries slide past each other. This kind of stress is called shearing. so when two plates are rubbing up against each other basically. go to this website to get another definition and a picture.http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/glossary/?term=shear%20stress

In geology, shearing refers to the lateral motion of one rock surface against another. This movement alters the rocks, causing them to change shape.

The tearing apart of unusually long DNA molecules by mechanical rather than chemical means, sometimes by accident when the molecule is being prepared in the lab for testing.

Why are two confirmations of plasmids seen when run on a gel when naturally its always negatively super-coiled?

During the isolation of plasmid it is possible that the shearing forces may cause the DNA to break opening the DNA molecule into linear DNA rather than circular supercoiled DNA. The linear DNA moves slower than the circular DNA. Thus two bands might be seen.


Why was the discovery of restriction enzymes important to recombinant DNA technology?

Recombinant DNA technology requires fragments of DNA from the source genome. Using crude methods such as mechanical shearing, we get random fragments of DNA, and their sequence is unknown. Restriction enzymes are specific in site recognition and cutting and their discovery lead to proper fragments of DNA which have some known sequences.
