Answer:

DNA restriction enzymes cut the DNA molecule, while DNA ligases join the resulting DNA fragments

Explanation:

Transformation is a naturally occurring process by which bacteria incorporate exogenous genetic material from their surrounding environment. This process (transformation) is used for DNA cloning via plasmid vectors. In DNA cloning, transformation occurs after restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific sequences named palindromic sequences (i.e, sequences that can be read the same in opposite direction). Restriction enzymes can generate sticky-ends, where enzymes make staggered cuts in the two strands (e.g., <em>BamH</em>), or blunt ends, where the resulting strands are of the same length (e.g., <em>HaeIII</em>). In general, sticky-end enzymes are more useful because they generate a 3' overhang in one molecule and a complementary 5' overhang in the other, increasing the yield and specificity of ligation. During ligation, a DNA ligase is used to join both DNA strands by forming phosphodiester bonds in the plasmid. Following transformation, bacteria can be selected on antibiotic plates.

DENIUS [597]
The answer is <span>A. Decrease in genetic variation
</span><span>
A founder effect is a result of a geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those few founding individuals will form a new population so they are founders. In this new population, there will be present alleles of the few founding individuals. However, those few founding individuals do not represent a whole genetic variation of the old population, but only some part of it.
Imagine a population of fish in which there are yellow, green, blue, and red colored fish. In the population, there is a genetic variation. But, if a few green-colored and red-colored fish geographically separate from the population and form a new population, in the new population there will be decreased genetic variation (because there are only green and red fish compared to the old population where are fish in 4 different colors).</span>

astra-53 [7]

As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through. The phospholipid bilayer is arranged with the hydrophilic heads facing outward or inward into the aqueous solutions inside and outside the cell with the hydrophobic tails of the two layers pointing toward each other and excluding water from this area.

Hope this helps good luck
