Why would you NOT expect a restriction endonuclease to exist that would recognize the site AAGGAA?
A 10 kb DNA fragment digested with the restriction endonuclease EcoRI yields fragments of 4 kb and 6 kb. When the 10 kb fragment is digested with BamHI, three fragments of 1, 3.5 and 5.5 kb are generated. Digestion with both enzymes yields four fragments of 0.5, 1, 3 and 5.5 kb. Draw the restriction map for the 10 kb fragment based on the data. Label the cut sites for the two enzymes, and the lengths between the cut sites.

If restriction endonucleases are produced by bacteria within a host, why don’t these enzymes chew up the genomic DNA of their host? What is the role of DNA methyltransferase in this? Indicate the answer
Restriction endonucleases are bacterial enzymes that cleave duplex (double-stranded) DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. The mode of replication of the animal virus SV40 has been investigated by using restriction endonucleases that cleave SV40 DNA into a number of unique segments. Like most viruses, SV40 DNA is circular. The map positions of the 11 fragments produced by a pair of restriction endonucleases are shown on the next page. Immediately following a 5 or 10 minute pulse of radioactively labeled thymidine, labeled SV40 molecules that have completed replication during the pulse are isolated. These newly replicated DNA molecules are digested by the restriction endonucleases and the resulting fragments are analyzed for the relative amounts of pulse label they contain. The results are in the table below. Assume that at the time the label was added there was a random population of replicating SV40 DNA molecules in all possible stages of synthesis. From the information given below,…

Genomic DNA from a family where sickle-cell disease is known to be hereditary, is digested with the restriction enzyme MstII and run in a Southern Blot. The blot is hybridised with two different 0.6 kb probes, both probes (indicated in red in the diagram below) are specific for the β-globin gene (indicated as grey arrow on the diagram below). The normal wild-type βA allele contains an MstII restriction site indicated with the asterisk (*) in the diagram below; in the mutated sickle-cell βS allele this restriction site has been lost. What size bands would you expect to see on the Southern blots using probe 1 and probe 2 for an individual with sickle cell disease (have 2 βS alleles)?
