Answer:

Mumps can cause infertility. By giving a mumps vaccine to a boy, we are preventing the full effect of the disease if the boy has mumps in the future because the body is protected against this virus thanks to the vaccine.

Explanation:

Mumps can cause infertility in men. If we give a boy the mumps vaccine, we are giving him a modified version of the virus that is harmless, but that will make the body produce the specific antibodies for the disease. If in the future the boy has mumps it will be less harsh since his body has the antibodies to fight mumps and his fertility will not be at risk.

There are a small number of boys who, after possibly contracting mumps, could experienced decreased fertility in the future. Giving a mumps vaccine, since it's a weaker version of the virus, will allow the body to fight it off without the negative effects that could come with a full version of the illness.

The restriction enzyme Hind3 has two Recognization sites in the 400 base pair long DNA molecule.

As a result the restriction enzyme Hind3 with generate 2 cuts in the target 400 base pair long DNA molecule.

The number of 2 cuts in the target DNA molecule will generate 3 DNA fragments.From this point of view it can be stated that 3 bands will form after completing DNA electrophoresis and staining the gel.
