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.

What is the role of carbon sinks and sources in the exchange and storage of carbon between organisms and the environment?
igomit [66]

Answer:

The main natural carbon sinks are plants, the ocean and soil. Plants grab carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in photosynthesis; some of this carbon is transferred to soil as plants die and decompose. The oceans are a major carbon storage system for carbon dioxide.

How would the specific gravity of urine be different after a vigorous workout without the consumption of significant quantities
Zina [86]
After a vigorous workout without consuming significant amounts of water, the specific gravity will have a higher concentration. A vigorous workout increases the breakdown of glucose, without enough water to flush it out it remains in the urine;meaning specific gravity will be high because of the of the high glucose content.

Compare and contrast a condensation reaction with a hydrolysis.
amm1812
Condensation and hydrolysis are changes which a solid can undergo to change the phase or identity. Condensation is a phase change that changes vapor to liquid. Hydrolysis on the other hand is the reaction with water that results in the breaking of chemical bonds
