What else can I help you with?
Which enzyme would cut the plasmid without disrupting the function of?
Perhaps you mean a restriction enzyme, but not disrupting the function of whatever is not too clear. I think if you cut a plasmid with any restriction enzyme I am familiar with the function of that plasmid would be disrupted.
To produce a recombinant plasmid and the foreign DNA are cut with a different restriction enzyme?
When producing a recombinant plasmid, the plasmid and foreign DNA are cut with the same restriction enzyme(s) to generate complementary sticky ends for ligation. Using different restriction enzymes would create incompatible ends that cannot be ligated together effectively, making it difficult to form a functional recombinant plasmid.
What biochemical tool would be use to cut a plasmid?
Restriction enzymes would be used to cut a plasmid. These enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences and cleave the DNA at those sites. This allows for the insertion of desired DNA sequences into the plasmid.
Why is a restriction enzyme that cuts your plasmid more than once unusable?
If a restriction enzyme cuts a plasmid more than once, it may create multiple fragments that can't be easily re-ligated back together. This can result in a mix of different plasmid forms, making it challenging to obtain a pure, single-cut product for downstream cloning experiments.
Why do scientists use the same enzyme to remove the insulin and cut the plasmid open?
Scientists use the same enzyme to remove insulin and cut the plasmid open for consistency and efficiency in genetic engineering processes. By utilizing the same restriction enzyme, they ensure that the sticky ends generated on both the insulin gene and the plasmid are complementary, facilitating the seamless insertion of the gene into the plasmid. This compatibility enhances the likelihood of successful ligation and subsequent expression of the insulin gene in host cells.
What tool will researcher use to cut plasmid?
They would use a Restriction Enzyme

What is the biochemical tool that scientists use to cut plasmid?
Scientists use enzymes known as restriction endonucleases to cut plasmid DNA at specific sequences. These enzymes recognize and cleave DNA at specific sites, allowing researchers to manipulate the plasmid for various genetic engineering applications.
Which restriction enzyme did you use to cut the DNA?
The restriction enzyme used to cut the DNA was EcoRI.

What would happen if you cut both the jellyfish glo gene and puc18 plasmid with the ecor1 restriction enzyme?
If there is a EcoR1 site in either the middle of the Glo gene, or in the middle of the selectable marker site in the plasmid, it would likely disable either Glo, or the plasmid.

What is the function of restriction enzymes in the process of DNA recombination?
First, a specific enzyme is needed to cut the DNA from the donor genes at a specific site. This enzyme is called a restriction enzyme.The enzyme is used to cut out a piece of DNA that contains one or more desired genes from the donor's DNA. Next, a vector is needed to receive the donor DNA. Most frequently, a naturally occurring circular piece of bacterial DNA, called a plasmid, is used for this purpose. Finally, an enzyme is used to "stitch" the donor DNA into the plasmid vector. This enzyme is called ligase, and it creates permanent bonds between the donor DNA and the plasmid DNA. The result is that the donor DNA is incorporated into the bacterial plasmid, forming the recombinant DNA (rDNA)
How could you use genetic engineering techniques to make transformed bacteria that produce the enzyme?
Extract DNA from the cells of people who can make the digestion enzyme. Cut the DNA with restriction enzymes to cut out the gene that codes for the enzyme. Use gel electrophoresis to locate the gene. Then, use polymerase chain reaction to make copies of the gene. Choose a plasmid that has an antibiotic-resistance genetic marker, and cut the plasmid with the smae restriction enzyme use to cut out the hyman gene. Insert the copies of the human gene into the plasmids. Allow bacterial cells to take in the plasmids. Select for transformed bacteria by growing them in a culture containing the antibiotic. These bacteria will make the digestion enzyme.
Why must you use an enzyme that will not cut anywhere within the gene that you are inserting into a plasmid?
If you are trying to take a gene from a DNA strand and put insert it into a plasmid, you wouldn't want a restriction enzyme to cut that gene up, or else it would be pretty useless. In other words, you need an enzyme or two that cuts outside that gene so that it can be functional after it's inserted into a plasmid. After your gene of interest is inserted into a plasmid, the plasmid can be put back into a bacterium, then you could genetically engineer plants with it or let the bacterium reproduce and produce many copies of a protein that you had wanted to make in the first place.
