4. Because eukaryotic genes contain introns, they cannot be translated by bacteria, which lack RNA-splicing machinery. But if you want to engineer a bacterium to produce a eukaryotic protein (such as insulin), you can synthesize a gene without introns. The best way to do this is to:

b. Use a restriction enzyme to remove introns from the gene

c. work backward from mRNA to make a version of the gene without introns

c. the fact that some of the DNA will be single-stranded while others will be double-stranded

d. the length of each base-pair segment

7. which of the following is not true about restriction endonucleases?

a. restriction endonucleases cut in an internal region of the DNA

b. Restriction endonucleases are used by bacteria to cut viral DNA

c. restriction endonuclease can produce "sticky ends."

8. you are given a linear piece of DNA Gel electrophoresis and restriction digestion results in the following data:

Which of the following is not true?

a. there is a single Ecoli recognition site in the DNA

b. There are two Ecoli recognition sites in the DAN

c. There is a single BamHI recognition site in the DAN

c. antiparallel

d. not symmetrical about the midpoint.

10. the single strand ends of DNA molecules can be joined together by:

a. restriction endonucleases

b. DNA polymerase

c. RNA polymerase

d. DNA ligase

11. If a circular piece of DNA has three sites for a particular restriction enzyme, how many fragments will be generated by complete digestion with that enzyme .................
