9.Biotechnology Principals and Process
medium
A recombinant $DNA$ molecule was created by ligating a gene to a plasmid vector. By mistake, an exonuclease was added to the tube containing the recombinant $DNA$. How does this affect the next step in the experiment, i.e. bacterial transformation ?
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
The experiment will not likely to be affected as recombinant $DNA$ molecule is circular closed, with no free ends. Hence, it will not be a substrate for exonuclease enzyme which removes nucleotides from the free ends of $DNA.$
