The diagram below illustrates how recombinant DNA technology is used to produce valuable products. What is the purpose of using restriction enzymes in recombinant DNA technology? DF RISKIR DNA plasmids DO Bacterial cell (E. coli) Bacterium with recombinant DNA plasmid OO Replication of new gene OO Plasmids isolated OO Cloned cells produce new protein such as enzymes or hormones O-C Ligase joins sticky ends OO Restriction enzyme cuts plasmids Sticky ends Gene obtained from donor DNA using the same restriction enzyme O The restriction enzymes are used to catalyze the synthesis of new proteins such as enzymes or hormones. Sticky ends O The restriction enzymes are used to join sticky ends of both the cut plasmid and the cut gene obtained from donor DNA ma om
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
