Question

(b) What are the arrows in the given figure indicating? Write the result obtained thereafter.

Hint:

Sticky ends created by restriction enzymes enhance the precision and efficiency of ligation during recombinant DNA technology.

Answer 1

- The arrows indicate the sites where the DNA strand is cleaved by EcoRI. 
- The cleavage results in two DNA fragments with sticky ends. These sticky ends can anneal to complementary sequences, facilitating the insertion of desired DNA fragments into vectors during recombinant DNA technology.
