The restriction enzymes shown below cut DNA in the following manner. The slashes indicate where cutting occurs. BamHI                         G\GATCC                                     CCTAG\G   EcoRI                          G\AATTC                                     CTTAA\G        HaeII                           GGCGC\C                                    C\CGCGG   PstI                             CTGCA\G                                    G\ACGTC Which of these enzymes would generate sticky ends that would be the least stable when they bind to complementary sticky ends?

An Ames test was carried out on a suspected mutagen, which we will call mutagen A. In each case, one million bacteria were plated on media that lacked histidine. The following numbers of colonies were observed to grow.                                     Trial    Control            With mutagen A                                     1           7                              43                                     2           9                             19                                     3           4                              27                                     4           5                              33                                     5           7                              44   You don’t need to conduct a t-test now, but you can probably guess what the results would be. Which of the following conclusions would you draw?

The restriction enzyme EcoRI recognizes the sequence: 5′-G/AATTC-3′ 3′-CTTAA/G-5′ It cuts between the G and A as noted by the slashes. Following the digestion of chromosomal DNA and vector DNA with EcoRI, let’s suppose that one fragment of chromosomal DNA gets inserted into a vector. No DNA ligase has been added. If both of the sticky ends of the chromosomal DNA fragment are binding to the sticky ends of the vector, what is holding these two pieces of DNA together?
