<span>RATIONALE: </span>
<span>The patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) develops a barrel chest over time because trapped air enlarges the lungs and thoracic cavity, thereby reducing chest flexibility. Sunken chest, also known as funnel chest or pectus excavatum, is not related to COPD. Hyperventilation is not characteristically seen with COPD. Instead, the patient usually displays persistent dyspnea on exertion, with or without a chronic cough. Circumoral cyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the skin surrounding the mouth. It is usually an indication of a severely diminished level of oxygen and respiratory distress. Circumoral cyanosis can result from a variety of respiratory diseases and may be a late sign of the COPD disease process.

Which procedure would help ensure that a new piece of DNA can be inserted inside a bacterial plasmid when the two are mixed toge
yarga [219]

The fragment and plasmid are both cut with the same restriction enzyme is the that help ensure that a new piece of DNA can be inserted inside a bacterial plasmid when the two are mixed together.

Explanation:

The gene cloning requires one of the necessary step of forming chimera in which gene or DNA sequence of interest in inserted into the plasmid of bacteria.

The gene of interest and plasmid is cut by using same endonuclease enzymes.

The endonuclease used are same because they produce fragments having same complementary ends which bond to form chimera or recombinant DNA.

The overhangs produced by endonuclease lets the gene and plasmid form base pair with each other.

If overhangs are not there DNA ligase performs the function of sealing the plasmid and gene.
