Question: Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below. A group of six students has taken samples of their own cheek cells, purified the DNA, and used a restriction enzyme known to cut at zero, one, or two sites in a particular gene of interest.
Analysis of the data obtained shows that two students each have two fragments, two students each have three fragments, and two students each have one only. What does this demonstrate?
Answer:
"The two students who have two fragments have one restriction site in this region."
Explanation:
A restriction enzyme, restriction endonuclease, or restrictase is an enzyme that cuts DNA into trashes at or close precise appreciation sites inside particles identified as restriction locations. Restriction enzymes are one session of the wider endonuclease collection of enzymes. In the laboratory, restriction enzymes (or restriction endonucleases) are used to cut DNA into minor trashes. The scratches are constantly made at exact nucleotide arrangements. Unlike restriction enzymes recognise and cut diverse DNA sequences.
