Which of the following is a reason why sticky end producing restriction enzymes are preferred compared to blunt end ones?

Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

D) Because sticky ends can be temporarily held together by hydrogen bonding between the two strands.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific restriction sites and by the mechanism of action they can form two types of ends:

  • sticky ends-single-stranded overhangs are formed
  • blunt ends-without overhangs.

The main advantage of sticky ends (their overhangs) is that they can complementary bind to another overhand formed by the same restriction enzyme. So, for example in cloning, if the DNA of interest and plasmid vector are cut with the same restriction enzyme, that  forms sticky ends, fragment of DNA will fit into a bacterial plasmid in one direction.

On the other hand, blunt ends can be inserted into vector in both directions: head-to-tail or tail-to-head.

Revise this sentence by replacing all gerunds with infinitives.
vekshin1

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

I always tell people that I love to dance, to write and to paint.

The verb keep cannot take an infinitive afterwards so it is better to replace that expression  altogether with another one that means the same thing, but that can use an infinitive. The verb love can take either gerunds or infinitives afterwards with only a subtle variation in the meaning.
