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.
Answer:
The answer is exogenous/non-self signals.
Explanation:
- All types of stimuli that trigger certain responses from cells are broadly classified into two categories:
- Self/ Endogenous Ligands
A ligand is a carrier molecule that can binds to a stimulus, thus, producing a signaling molecule. Ligands bind to specific receptors in or the surface of the cell.
Self/endogenous signals are signaling molecules produced by the body itself. They are part of normal cellular communication.
2. Non-self/Exogenous Ligands:
These are signals produced by a foreign source such as a pathogen or a drug administered into the body. Basically, any signal that is foreign to the body and not produced by the body itself are exogenous ligands. Exogenous ligands elicit an immune or allergic response in the body. When identified, these ligands and their source is attacked by the immune system.
