BIO 340 FINAL EXAMBANK QUESTIONS
ACCURATELY SOLVED FREQUENTLY TESTED.
why is endosymbiosis limited to eukaryotes
Correct Answer -eukaryotes are capable of phagocytosis, organelles are not
longer endosymbionts. A BIG distinguishing feature of organelles is
purposeful protein targeting
what process requires endosymbiotic gene transfer and protein targeting?
Correct Answer -genetic integration
restoration enzymes
Correct Answer -restrict the growth of bacteriophages
cut DNA at sequence-specific sites
produce double strand breaks
over 600 commercially available
what cuts DNA at sequence-specific sites
Correct Answer -restoration enzymes
what can cut sites be classified as leaving
Correct Answer --blunt ends or sticky ends
-5' overhang or 3' overhang
what are cut sites generally?
Correct Answer -PALIDROMES
,-dna palindroms have the same sequence on opposite strands
the names if enzymes according to their length in a recognition sequence
Correct Answer -4 cutter

Correct Answer -plasmids
vector
Correct Answer -any carrier molecule for the DNA insert of interest
,plasmid
Correct Answer -small, circular, independently replicating, DNA element
found in certain bacteria, organelles, and eukaryotes
