Fragments of DNA that have complementary sticky ends?

What does the term sticky ends refer to in gene splicing?

Sticky ends are produced by cutting the DNA in a staggered manner within the recognition site producing single-stranded DNA ends. These ends have identical nucleotide sequence and are sticky because they can hydrogen-bond to complementary tails of other DNA fragments cut by the same restriction enzyme.


What seals the sticky ends of restriction fragments to make recombinant DNA?

These sticky ends, if they two pieces match, they will join together to form a recombinant DNA.


What are stick ends?

the enzymes cause sticky ends to form------------------------------------------------the question is WHAT ARE STICKY ENDS, not how are sticky ends formed.the answer is "single stranded pieces of DNA left at the ends of restriction fragmants"-simone :)The actual answer is: single-stranded ends of fragments of double-stranded DNA


How do sticky ends function?

Readily bind to complementary chains of DNA. Thus, pieces of DNA that have been cut with the same restriction enzyme can bind togeher to form a new sequence of nucleotides.


What is a sticky end?
