Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have two DNA fragments: one with sticky ends and one with blunt ends. How would you go about successfully ligating each fragment? Discuss the steps and reasoning behind your choices.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the properties of the DNA ends and how they affect ligation.

Question 2

Evaluate a scenario in genetic engineering where the choice of blunt ends over sticky ends provides a distinct advantage. Discuss the implications.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about cases where sequence-specific integration is essential.
