In the living bacterial cell, these enzymes destroy the DNA of certain invading viruses (bacteriophages), thus placing a "restriction" on the number of viral strains that can cause infection; the bacterium's own DNA is protected from cleavage by methyl (-CH3) groups, which are added by enzymes at the recognition sites to mask them.
The three biological molecules in the cell that DNA must be separated from are the cell membrane, lipids, and enzymes. The DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell.
restriction enzymes
There is no difference between the sugar-phosphate arrangement in the backbone of the DNA from the plant, mammal, and bacterium. What makes plant, mammal, and bacterium different is the sequence of the DNA nucleotides.
transgenic organism
cutting the gene out of the DNA with enzymes
A DNA LibraryA 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.

Yes- Bacterial viruses are called bacteriophages. Some examples are T4 and T7 phages. They are complex DNA viruses that attach themselves to the cell surface and then inject their DNA to the inside of the bacteria. Bacteria have enzymes called restriction enzymes that cleave DNA at specific sites called restriction sites. These enzymes are the bacterium's defense against phages.
