Recombinant DNA Technology  Problem Set
Problem 2 Recombinant DNA 1 
Correct!
Which of the following tools of recombinant DNA technology is
INCORRECTLY paired with one of its uses?
 
 
 
| 
A. 
 | 
restriction endonuclease - production of DNA fragments for gene cloning.
 | 
 
| 
B. 
 | 
DNA ligase - enzyme that cuts DNA, creating sticky ends.
Yes, DNA ligase joins adjacent nucleotides in a covalent linkage. Restriction endonucleases cut DNA at specific sites creating sticky ends.
 
 | 
 
| 
C. 
 | 
DNA polymerase - copies DNA sequences in the polymerase chain reaction.
 | 
 
| 
D. 
 | 
reverse transcriptase - production of cDNA from mRNA.
 | 
 
| 
E. 
 | 
electrophoresis - RLFP analysis.
