Lesson Flashcards: Using Restriction Enzymes

The numbers that refer to the specific carbon in the deoxyribose backbone of DNA to which a new deoxyribonucleotide bonds

The restriction enzyme that recognizes the DNA sequence GAATTC

A nucleic acid molecule that carries the genetic instructions in living things and typically takes the form of a double helix

A biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of reactions without being used up

The DNA sequences that are produced by the cutting of restriction enzymes that have no unpaired sequences and terminate with a base pair

A word or sequence that reads the same forward and backward

A chemical reaction that breaks a bond between molecules through the addition of a water molecule

An enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific, typically palindromic, sequence

A specific sequence of DNA that a restriction enzyme recognizes and cleaves

DNA combined from at least two different sources to form new genetic information not previously found in the genome
