Which phrase is true for a DNA fingerprint?
it is a type of restriction map.
A pattern of bands made up of specific DNA fragments is a?
DNA fingerprint
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes
What cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides?
Restriction enzyme cut the DNA at the specific site. Xho I is an example for restriction endonuclease which cut between C and T in the sequence of -CTCGAG- at the both strands. This is highly specific and hence they are used in DNA or gene cloning.
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
Which phrase is true for a DNA fingerprint?

A pattern of bands made up of specific DNA fragments is a?
DNA fingerprint
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes
Restriction enzymes are specific in their identification of what?
yes they are....it depends on the presence of the restriction sites in the DNA
How are restriction maps and DNA fingerprints similar?
Dna fingerprints are a type of restriction maps.
What does a geneticist use to cut DNA at specific base sequences?
Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are used to cut DNA into smaller fragments. Restriction enzymes are found in bacteria, where they act like molecular scissors by cutting up DNA from invading viruses or bacteriophages. Each restriction enzyme recognizes a specific nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA at that site. This process makes restriction enzymes extremely useful in biotechnology where they are used in procedures such as DNA cloning, DNA fingerprinting, and genetic engineering. There are hundreds of known restriction enzymes, and each one was named for the bacteria from which it was isolated. For example, EcoRI was isolated from Escherichia coli and HaeIII from Haemophilus aegyptius.
What method is used to make DNA fingerprints?
A method known as RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis can be used to make a DNA fingerprint.
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 do scientists use to cut DNA at a specific sequence?
With a specific restriction enyzme
Which of the following cuts DNA molecules at specific locations?
restriction endonuclease enzymes
Do restriction enzymes cut protein molecules at specific sites?
No. restriction enzymes do not cut proteins. restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at specific sites called restriction sites.
What do biotechnologist used to cut DNA molecules at specific sequences?
Restriction endonucleases or enzymes
