1
Q
Recombinant DNA
A
DNA composed of sequences originating from at least 2 different sources
2
Q
Restriction endonucleuses (Restriction enzymes)
A
They cleave double stranded DNA into fragments at specific sequences.
3
Q
Recognition sites
A
A recognition site is a specific sequence within double-stranded DNA, consisting of four to eight nucleotides, that a restriction enzyme cleaves.
4
Q
CRISPR
A
CRISPR allows scientists to cut DNA at a specific location, and the cell then repairs it in a way that can be used to change or correct the gene
