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 are the cleaved DNA fragments from two sources able to recombine?

Sometimes, when the cleaved DNA fragments both have sticky ends, they naturally anneal due to complementary base pairing. However, an enzyme called DNA Ligase is used for joining cut strands of DNA together. There is a ligase called t4 Ligase that joins blunt ends because it is stronger.

What is a sticky end?

A Sticky End, referring to Biology is recombinant DNA. After DNA has been cut by a restriction enzyme it has "sticky ends" or recombinant DNA at the ends.


A restriction enzyme is likely to cut which kind of molecules?

DNA molecules. A strand of DNA molecules can be cut to have blunted ends or jagged ends (sticky ends).
