These are the highly reactive elements located in Group 1 of the periodic table. These elements have one electron in their outer

energy level which makes them highly reactive with water and halogens.

"These" should be referring to Alkali Metals.

They include metals such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium etc.
They're classified as Group I elements because they all have one outmost shell electrons. This is why these metals are so reactive because they only need to lose one electron in order to achieve the octet of electrons (or duplet for Lithium), which means complete outmost shell electrons (2 or the 1st shell, others are 8). 

The reason why they're especially reactive to Halogens (Group VII) elements are that Halogens have 7 outmost shell electrons, which only needs one more electron in order to get to the octet of electrons. So, if an Alkali metal reacts with a Halogen, the metal would give one of their electrons to the Halogen, that way, both of the elements can have an octet of electrons (or duplet).

Answer:

No, in molecular cloning cutting mistakes can lead to in correct ligation

C) No, because cutting mistakes could lead to incorrect cloning.

Explanation:

in molecular cloning, if you want to insert a specific gene of interest in to specific vector, the selection of enzyme and strategy before that is very important.  The restriction enzyme should be selected which restrict at the desired location in the cloning sites. Any mistake in these selection or undesirable mutation mistakes can lead to in correct or unsuccessful cloning results.
