Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a DNA sequence and a restriction enzyme, predict the fragments that will result after the cut. For example, how would EcoRI cut the sequence GAATTC?
💡 Hint: Draw out the sequence to visualize the cut.
Design an experiment using restriction enzymes to clone a gene from one organism into a plasmid vector. Outline the steps and mention how you would confirm successful cloning.
💡 Hint: Think about each of the key steps in molecular cloning and the tools you would use.
