Question

1. Soon after the discovery of restriction enzymes, it was found that some restriction
enzymes produced DNA fragments which averaged several hundred base pairs in
length, other produced fragments that averaged several thousand base pairs in
length, and still others produced fragments that we extremely large.
a. What is the main factor determining the average size of the DNA fragments
produced by any restriction enzyme? That is, what determines how
frequently a restriction enzyme cuts DNA?
b. What are some reasons that a molecular biologist might want to get DNA
fragments of a particular average size?
c. What would you predict the average size of fragments produce by the
following restriction enzymes would be?
Sau-IIIa
Eco-R1

Explanation / Answer

Hello. We cramster experts have decided not to provide any answer publicly. That is because people are copying from older threads which have public answers. Hence we'll only send the answer after you rate. So please rate a Lifesaver and I'll send the solution to your inbox or email. You've got no other option to get the answer, because no one is going to give you the answer over here. You need not worry as I have the solution ready in my notebook. Hope you rate me :)
