Recombinant DNA Technology Problem Set
Problem 10 Recombinant DNA 5
Correct!
One of the most significant discoveries which allowed the development of
recombinant DNA technology was:
A.
|
the discovery of antibiotics used for selecting transformed bacteria.
|
B.
|
the identification and isolation of restriction endonucleases permitting specific DNA cutting.
Yes, prior to the discovery of these enzymes, there was no reproducible way to fragment DNA.
|
C.
|
the discovery of DNA and RNA polymerase allowing workers to synthesize any DNA sequence.
|
D.
|
the development of the polymerase chain reaction.
|
E.
|
the Southern technique for separation and identification of DNA sequences.
