2. Restriction enzymes are enzymes that cut DNA whenever it reads a specific sequence. I used Eco RI because it fit once in my plasmid and twice in my cell DNA.
3. If I cut the plasmid twice, there would be two spaces for only one cell DNA section, and combined they would create a line instead of a circle.
4. In our everyday life, this process is important to help take out harmful genes and/or take out certain genes that are resistant to some antibiotics that are needed to cure or treat a disease.
5. Current technologies use recombinant DNA to clone animals (like "Dolly" the sheep) and to produce genetically modified foods.
