Question 2 0/2 pts Certain bacteria always degrade "foreign" DNA when they are introduced to it. What keeps the bacteria from degrading their own DNA? The bacteria's own DNA is protected from cleavage through chemical modifications. The bacteria's own DNA is composed of different sequences The bacteria's own DNA is hidden away inside a different internal structure The bacteria's own DNA is selective for only foreign DNA as a result of "cell memory" The bacteria's own DNA has evolved past...
Question 18 4 pts What role do restriction enzymes play in bacteria? How do bacteria protect their own DNA from the action of restriction enzymes? Change the surface proteins of bacteria; since DNA is not protein, there is no need for protection Cut foreign DNA into pieces; bacteria have RNA genomes. Destroy invading viral DNA: bacterial DNA does not contain the restriction enzyme recognition sequences. Restrict the growth rate of bacteria; bacterial DNA is restriction enzyme resistant.
