Which enzyme do scientist use to cut genes out of strands of DNA?

restriction endonuclease


What molecules are needed to cut and copy segments of DNA?

To cut and copy segments of DNA, the primary molecules required are restriction enzymes and DNA ligase. Restriction enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences and cleave the DNA at those sites, allowing for the extraction of desired segments. DNA ligase then facilitates the joining of DNA fragments by forming phosphodiester bonds, effectively "gluing" the segments together. Additionally, DNA polymerase may be used for amplifying or synthesizing new DNA strands during the copying process.


In genetics what does complementary DNA mean?

Complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA that has been copied from an mRNA through a reverse transcriptase enzyme. cDNA contains a copy of the original DNA sequence that made the mRNA - but without the introns (as these are cut out to create mRNA).


What is the name of the substance that is used to cut DNA at particular sequences?

DNA is cut by a special kind of enzymes called restriction enzymes.


What reason would the DNA be copied?

It could be cut for many reasons. When undergoing meiosis, DNA is cut to create novel gene arrangements on chromosomes. DNA can also be damaged by mutagens like UV light, and will be cut by certain enzymes to help in the repair on the DNA. In the lab, biologist cut DNA to insert genes, knock out genes, or to ensure that the gene is there. These are just a few reasons, but it is useful to cut DNA both in the lab and in the organism.

When scientists copy DNA they first to cut out the part they want to copy what molecules do they use to do this?

Scientists use restriction enzymes to cut out the specific part of DNA they want to copy. These enzymes recognize and cut DNA at specific sequences, allowing researchers to isolate the desired section for replication.

When was Cut Copy created?

Cut Copy was created in 2001.


Why does the same enzyme cut DNA at different places?

Because restriction enzymes recognised site normally are more than one.For example, if an enzyme recognise three Base pair such us AAA and the copy segment of DNA has 5 AAA segment than the enzyme will cut the DNA into 5 picies.


A general scheme for genetic engineering is?

obtain DNA with the desired gene, cut the DNA into pieces, copy the pieces of DNA, identify copies of the desired gene, and transfer the desired gene to the recipient organism. for Plato the answer is A. not B. C. or D.
