A DNA Library
A collection of cells containing DNA fragments produced by restriction enzymes and incorporated into plasmids is called a DNA library. RNA can manufacture DNA via the action of reverse transcriptase.

What is used to separate DNA fragments by size?
Electrophoresis. Restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA into fragments. Solutions containing these fragments are placed on the surface of a gel to which an electric current is applied. The electric current causes the DNA fragments to move through the gel. Because smaller fragments move more quickly than larger ones, this process separates the fragments according to size.
Do longer or shorter restriction fragments travel farther?
shorter
Which protein creates DNA fragments with sticky ends?
Restriction Enzyme
What cuts DNA into fragments?
cutting of DNA into fragments simply means application of suitable restriction enzyme to it.now a days two types of restriction enzymes are available,1)exonucleases,which cut at end portion of DNA and 2)endonucleases ,which cut at specific inner site.
What is created by treating DNA with restriction enzymes to create fragments allowing them to travel in an agarose gel bed with electricity and capturing the results in a type of picture?
When DNA is treated with restriction enzymes, and the fragments are loaded onto a gel which is subjected to electrophoresis, we get a banding pattern of the DNA fragments with the farthest band (from the gel) of those fragments smallest in size.

Who has exactly the same DNA restriction fragments?
two identical DNA fragments will have identical restriction fragments. Also, genetically identical twins will have identical restriction fragments

What are used to cleave DNA into fragments?
Restriction enzymes. Babe

shorter
How are restriction maps used?
They are used to show the lengths of DNA fragments between restriction sites in a strand of DNA.
What is the simple rule relating the number of fragments to the number of restriction sites presents on the linear DNA molecule?
Let N = number of fragments: For circular DNA, the number of restriction sites= N For linear DNA, the number of restriction sites= N-1
If you took a linear piece of DNA and cut it with the restriction enzyme EcoRI and it had three restriction sites for EcoRI, how many fragments would you produce What if you had a circular piece of DNA?
If the plasmid has 3 recognition sequences for a given restriction endonuclease, then 4 linear DNA fragments are obtained because, if the DNA is linear then the number of fragments obtained is (N+1) whereas if the DNA is circular then the number of fragments obtained will be N for N recognition sequences for the given restriction endonuclease in a plasmid.
What enzyme forms covalent bonds between restriction fragments?
Ligase.
Which protein creates DNA fragments with sticky ends?
Restriction Enzyme
Based on restriction maps of plasmid determine the number of DNA fragments and sizes of the fragments?
Plasmids are circular pieces of DNA, so the number of fragments equals the number of cuts from the restriction enzymes. You can easily see this if you start with one restriction enzyme that cuts the plasmid in only one place. Cutting the circle in one place yields you only one fragment. If the restriction cuts in two places, you end up with two fragments; with three places, three fragments, etc. With linear chromosomes, the situation is different. Cutting a linear chromosome in one place yields two fragments, cutting in two places yields three fragments, etc. So the number of fragments is always one more than the number of cuts. A restriction map of a plasmid will show all of the cuts the restriction enzymes made. Each cut is labeled with the enzyme that made it. One can count the spaces between cuts to determine the number of fragments that are produced. Restriction maps usually (but not always) also show the size of each fragment.
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.
