Collect 5 examples of palindromic DNA sequences by consulting your teacher. Better try to create a palindromic sequence by following base-pair rules.
Collect 5 examples of palindromic DNA sequences by consulting your teacher. Better try to create a palindromic sequence by following base-pair rules.
Solution and Explanation
The palindromic sequence is a certain sequence of the DNA that leads the same whether read from 5' \(\rightarrow\) 3' direction or from 3' \(\rightarrow\) 5' direction. They are the site for the action of restriction enzymes. Most restriction enzymes are palindromic sequences.
Five examples of palindromic sequences are:

Recombinant Technology
Recombinant DNA technology is the process used for producing new genetic combinations by joining different genetic material (DNA) together and inserting them into host organisms from two different species or sources. These new combinations are of value to medicine, science, industry, and agriculture.
Process of Recombinant DNA Technology:
Step 1- Isolation of Genetic Material.
Step 2- Cutting the gene at the recognition sites.
Step 3- Amplifying the gene copies through Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR)
Step 4- Ligation of DNA Molecules.
Step 5- Insertion of Recombinant DNA into Host.
Application of Recombinant DNA Technology:
- In agricultural fields Recombinant DNA Technology plays a major role. It produces genetically-modified organisms such as flavor save tomatoes, golden rice rich in protein and lot more
- Recombinant DNA technology is also used to produce Insulin.
- ELISA is one kind of clinical diagnosis where recombinant DNA technology is used.
- Recombinant DNA technology prevents hereditary diseases through gene therapy and also detects the presence of HIV in a person.
