Summary Introduction

To determine:

The size and number of DNA Fragments given by restriction enzymes Eco RI, Bam HI, and both these enzymes together.

Introduction:

Restriction enzyme is an enzyme that cuts the DNA fragment at the specific site by recognizing the DNA sequence at that site. The site at which the DNA is cut is termed as the restriction site.

Explanation of Solution

pLAB30 is an 18 kb map, which is cut by two restriction enzymes, Eco RI, and Bam HI. When Eco RI acts, then it cuts the DNA fragment at two sites, giving an 11 kb fragment and 7 kb fragment of the DNA.

When Bam HIacts, then it cuts DNA fragment at three sites, giving three fragments. The size of these fragments is 9 kb, 3 kb, and 6 kb.

When both these restriction enzymes act together, then 5 DNA fragments are obtained. The size of these fragments is 1 kb, 3 kb, 3 kb, 3kb, and 8 kb.

Conclusion

The table showing the size and number of DNA fragments after the DNA is acted upon by restriction enzymes is shown below:

Restriction enzymeNumber of DNA fragments obtainedSize of DNA fragments
Eco RI211 kb and 7 kb
Bam HI39 kb, 3 kb, and 6 kb
Eco RI + Bam HI51 kb, 3 kb, 3 kb, 3kb, and 8 kb
