Which of the following statements regarding restriction enzymes is NOT true?

Biology
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct option is option A

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are endocleases that cleave DNA fragment (<u>of usually four, five or six nucleotide long</u>) at <u>specific sites to produce blunt or sticky ends</u>. They <u>recognize palindromic sequences of host DNA when cleaving the specific sites</u>. The sequences below (on complementary strands) give an example of a palindromic sequences.

5'-CCC║GGG-3'

3'-GGG║CCC-5'

As can be seen above, when read from 5' to 3', the two sequences are the same despite being on opposing strands. And when cut between the guanine (G) and cytosine (C) (as shown above), it produces a blunt end. But when cut as shown below produces a sticky end.

5'- G║AATTC -3'

3'- CTTAA║G -5'

The explanation above shows options C and D are right while option A is wrong (hence the correct option).

Also, bacteria prevent their own DNA from been digested by restriction enzymes by adding methyl group to their restriction sites <u>which prevents restriction enzymes from recognizing restriction sites of their DNA;</u> this generally makes bacterial DNA to be highly methylated. This explanation makes option B right also.

Describe what will happen to a wave as it goes through a hole. What do you call this?
motikmotik

Answer:

Explanation:

As the water waves go through the gap they spread out, this is called diffraction.

The longer the wavelength of the wave the larger the amount of diffraction.

The greatest diffraction happens when the gap size is about the same size as the wavelength.

Hm, I thought it would be 0%. . . Since the male (hetero) would be Bb and the female (homo dominant) would be BB, So the dominant gene would be dominant over all of the recessive genes. (BB, BB, BB, Bb).

Where does energy first come into an ecosystem?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:B. Sunlight provides energy to producers

Explanation: photoautotrophs (plants) produce energy from sunlight by photosynthesis. This is the only energy production based on an external source of energy. Plants, whether alive or dead, are consumed by heterotrophs - bacteria, fungi and animals. The nutrients and energy from dead heterotrophs (and some live ones) are recycled by both autotrophs and heterotrophs.
