DNA from 2 different sources 5: 5': 3' 5' EcoRI recognition sequence Incubate both DNAS with EcoRI, which cuts the DNA backbone between Gand A A "sticky 3 end" 5' 5: A "sticky 3' 3' :5' 5' end" Incubate the DNAS together, allowing sticky ends to hydrogen bond. 5° 3' 3: :5' Add DNA ligase, which covalently links the DNA backbones. Covalent bond 3' Covalent bond A recombinant DNA molecule FIGURE 21.1 The action of a restriction enzyme and the production of recombinant DNA. The restriction enzyme EcoRI binds to a spe- cific sequence, in this case 5'-GAATTC-3'. It cleaves the DNA backbone between G and A, producing DNA fragments. The single-stranded ends of different DNA fragments hydrogen bond with each other, because they have complementary sequences. DNA ligase catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds in the DNA backbones of the fragments. =ダ:ー= in 는4 FO:G
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
Prior to the action of DNA ligase, how many hydrogen bonds are holding these two DNA fragments together?
