Which of the following describes why some bands are darker in a gel electrophoresis?

A. This is a location where there is a secondary well in the gel

B. There are large amounts of fragments the same size

C. The DNA at that band absorbed more dye since it is more positively charged

An enzyme that cut DNA molecules at a specific “recognition site” is called

A. Restriction enzyme

B. DNA polymerase

C. RNA polymerase

D. Taq polymerase


Which of the following describes how a plasmid and gene of interest are combined to create a vector?

B. A primer binds to the gene of interest to facilitate the process of inserting the gene into the plasmid

C. A helicase unwinds the DNA to allow for the gene of interest to be inserted then DNA ligase seals phosphodiester linkages

D. A DNA polymerase uses the gene of interest as a template to insert the gene into the plasmid


Which is the primary purpose of using restriction enzymes in gel electrophoresis?

A. It allows the strands of DNA to be cut into various lengths for testing

B. It restricts the number of base pairs that can be tested in a sample
