Answer:

By counting stars.

Explanation:

During the late eighteenth century, there was an astronomer - William Herschel who tried to estimate the size as well as shape of the galaxy by on the sky. It was the time when astronomers didn't even know that there exist some galaxies outside the milky way. He counted all the stars and created a map of the galaxy.

However, in that attempt he didn't realize that stars he was counting were not clear from his view. With that attempt of incorrect nature, he concluded his work as, the galaxy is  disk-shaped, flat and contains sun at the center. Today, when the astronomers got a perfect idea of the vastness of the universe and galaxies, we are in a position to say that Herschel's idea of the galaxies was very tiny and underestimated.

Which procedure would help ensure that a new piece of DNA can be inserted inside a bacterial plasmid when the two are mixed toge
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The fragment and plasmid are both cut with the same restriction enzyme.

Explanation:

To insert a piece of DNA in a bacterial plasmid, we need to cut both plasmid and DNA insert from same regions. This is typically done by restriction enzymes or restriction endonuclease. This cutting will open the plasmid (which is circular initially) and produce <u>sticky ends.</u> Here, DNA insert can attach because of similar sequence (see attached figure). In the final step, DNA ligase will glue it in the plasmid and it will become its part. This technique has been extensively used as a DNA recombinant technology. A better representation can be seen in the attached figure where both DNA sequence of interest and plasmid are cut with the same restriction enzyme (shown as scissors) and then ligated with DNA ligase.
