Question
  1. Bacterial systems serve as an excellent model to express proteins but has a disadvantage – what is that disadvantage?
  2. List the points to differentiate three classes of restriction enzymes?
  3. Give an example of restriction enzyme that has ability to generate blunt and cohesive ends after digestion of DNA?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Expression of genes:

Gene expression is the process of a gene being translated into a functioning protein. Transcription and translation are the two basic stages.
Transcription is the process of converting a DNA sequence into messenger RNA, which is then processed. The translation is a mechanism that involves the usage of messenger RNA to synthesize proteins.
The basic dogma of life refers to the sequence of events that begins with DNA and ends with protein.
