Answer:

Restriction enzymes cut the large DNA of human cells into smaller fragments at specific regions called as restriction sites.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are endonucleases that cut the DNA into smaller fragments. These DNA fragments are separated from each other through gel electrophoresis and used to make the DNA profiles of individuals. Thus, restriction enzymes help in study of human genome by carrying out site specific digestion of human DNA.

The variation of kernel color in corn plants is an inherited trait. R is the dominant allele for red kernels in a corn plant and
Hoochie [10]
The answer is 1/2.

If:
R - t<span>he dominant allele for red kernels
r - t</span><span>he recessive allele for yellow kernels

Then:
RR - dominant homozygote
Rr - heterozygote
rr - recessive homozygote

The cross Rr x rr will result in 1/2 of offspring with red kernels (Rr) and 1/2 of offspring with yellow kernels (rr):
Parental generation:      Rr      x      rr
Offspring generation:  Rr    Rr     rr      rr
So, there are 2 out of 4 Rr offspring (2/4 = 1/2) and 2 out of 4 rr offspring (2/4 = 1/2).</span>
