Exemplar Problems

Question:

Explain the roles of restriction digestion and ligation in molecular cloning. How are these techniques utilized in genetic engineering?

Answer:

Restriction digestion involves cutting DNA at specific recognition sites using restriction enzymes, while ligation refers to the joining of DNA fragments with DNA ligase. These techniques are used in molecular cloning to insert target DNA fragments into vectors for various applications, including gene expression studies and genetic engineering.
