when restriction enzyme is use on DNA basically it just first losen up the DNA, usally DNA is coiled, and so the restriction enzyme jsut breka the DNA and leave a sticky end, so that it can be put back together, the cell have to be able to do that because in nature, that's the way for cell to stop protein production and the cell still need that gene

What type of enzyme is used to fragment dna?
restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA.
Which enzyme opens DNA molecules?
Restriction Enzymes
What do you use to cut DNA strands for DNA fingerprints?
A Retsriction enzyme endonuclease is an enzyme that is used to cut DNA strands (both single and double strands) during finger printing at the DNA recognition sites known as restriction sites.
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
What type of enzyme is used to fragment dna?
restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA.
Which enzyme opens DNA molecules?
Restriction Enzymes
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.
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
What do you use to cut DNA strands for DNA fingerprints?
A Retsriction enzyme endonuclease is an enzyme that is used to cut DNA strands (both single and double strands) during finger printing at the DNA recognition sites known as restriction sites.
Why restriction enzyme cannot cut its own DNA?
Restriction enzymes are produced by bacteria to help destroy foreign, invading DNA, such as the DNA of bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacterial cells). Every restriction enzyme comes with a methylase enzyme, or more specifically, a DNA methyltransferase. The methylase enzyme methylates (adds a methyl group) to the restriction endonuclease site on the cell's own DNA, which protects the sites from the restriction enzyme so that it does not degrade its own DNA.

What enzyme cuts and seals DNA?
HaeIIIrestriction enzymes
Hi does any one know if I want to put some restriction enzyme close to cDNA should I put some nucleotide befor this restriction enzyme?
Restriction enzyme cuts DNA strand at specific locations Restriction enzyme cuts DNA strand at specific locations
What enzyme do scientists use to cut genes out of strands if DNA?
restriction enzymes
What is the best explanation for why a restriction enzyme does not cut the DNA of the cell that produces it?
The cell's DNA does not contain the restriction site.
What molecules are used to extract the gene of interest and recombine the DNA?
restriction enzyme
