Within a six-base DNA recognition sequence, an enzyme that cuts between the 3rd and 4th bases from the 5' end will generate blunt ends.
a)True
b)False
a) True
What is the function of restriction endonucleases in bacteria?
a) They serve no function.
b)They allow bacteria to genetically recombine with other bacteria.
c) They allow bacteria to engineer new DNA fragments.
d)They provide a defense mechanism against infection by viruses.
Our answer is surely D
d)They provide a defense mechanism against infection by viruses.
Explanation:
Restriction enzyme/restriction endonuclease:
Are produced by bacteria for cleaveing DNA at specific sites. Restriction enzymes cleave foreign DNA in the bacterial cell to fight against infecting organisms.
Pls Note:
Restriction enzyme are used by
bacteria to defend against bacterial viruses called bacteriophages or phages
Answer:
Prezygotic barriers:
1. Habitat isolation
2. Behavioral isolation
Explanation:
Pre-zygotic barriers are the barriers which do not allow the formation of the zygote in the organisms.
The two mechanisms of the pre-zygotic barriers are the:
1. Habitat isolation: the Flycatchers do not share the same habitat which is also mentioned in the question that they live on different islands.
2. The behavioural isolation: the Flycatchers could have evolved the different mating rituals as a result of which the could not interbreed.
Thus, Habitat isolation and Behavioral isolation are correct.
Answer: There will be no effect on the protein produced
Explanation:
According to the genetic code, the triplet codon GAG code for the amino acid, glutamate, while GAC code for aspartate.
Since GAG and GAC code for amino acids with similar properties (aspartate and glutamate are both acidic amino acids due to the extra carboxyl group present in their side chain), the change in nucleotide is still similar to the original, so will result in a different amino acid sequence, but will not alter the function of the protein at all. Thus, this kind of mutation is called silent mutation.
