RECOMBINANT DNA REVIEW
1. What is a nucleic acid probe and what is it used for?
2. How does the DNA ligase enzyme work specificially?
Answer with explanation is given below :-
1. Nucleic acid probe :- It is a short single stranded molecule of DNA or RNA. The molecule is radioactively or fluorescently labeled and complementary sequence to the interested gene.
Uses of nucleic acid probe :- the nucleic acid probe (Small piece of DNA or RNA) is used to search its complementary sequence in a sample genome . Nucleic acid probes are used to detect mRNA and interphase chromosome in tumour cells .
2. DNA ligase enzyme :- DNA ligase enzyme is a important specific enzyme which is used for joining the DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bond . This enzyme also repairs breaks in DNA and it connects okazaki fragments during DNA replication. DNA ligase also use in recombinant DNA technology .

MICROBIAL ECOLOGY: The next set of methods refers to nucleic acid probes. What are these, and how do they work? Select all that are true The term refers to DNA or RNA oligonucleotide complementary to a sequence in a target gene. The probe can be used to identify organisms containing a nucleic acid sequence complementary to the probe. Oligonucleotide probes can be made fluorescent with certain dyes. The probes can be used in the method called FISH.

RECOMBINANT DNA: PLASMID VECTOR engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's DNA using nology. To begin the recombinant DNA process, scientists must first ide at codes for the production of the protein they want to manufacture. One is to go backwards from the amino acid sequence of the desired protein to ide sequence of the gene. After scientists have identified the gene, they m it. Restriction enzymes or endonucleases from bacterial cells are key in th ia produce restriction...
1.) If we mix two restriction fragments cut with the same restriction enzyme in the presence of DNA ligase, ATP and appropriate buffer, we will obtain... A) protein B) carbohydrate C) recombinant DNA or plasmid D) pAMP
14.11 The Organic Chemistry of Biomolecules: Aromaticity and DNA 14.48 A strand of nucleic acid is defined by its sequence of nucleotides: A, C, T, and G. How many different sequences are possible for a nucleic acid that is 200 nucleotides long? How does that number compare to the estimated number of atoms in the universe, which is approximately 1080?
