Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the function of restriction enzymes?

  • Pick DNA sequences
  • Cut DNA at specific sites
  • Amplify DNA

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Think about what 'restriction' does to a sequence.

Question 2

True or False: DNA ligase can only join DNA fragments from the same organism.

  • True
  • False

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Consider what recombinant DNA means.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If you have a DNA sequence cut by a restriction enzyme resulting in fragments 500bp, 200bp, and 300bp, how would gel electrophoresis visualize these fragments? Predict the order based on size.

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Remember, smaller pieces move faster in the gel!

Question 2

Given that restriction enzymes can create sticky ends or blunt ends, discuss the advantages of using sticky ends in DNA ligation. Why are they often preferred?

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Think about how puzzle pieces fit togetherโ€”sticky ends are like pieces that have edges fitting into each other.
