Of the following steps to make recombinant DNA, which step occurs immediately after a restriction enzyme recognizes specific nucleotide sequences?

The restriction enzyme cuts DNA at the recognition sites into fragments with single-stranded tails called sticky ends.

he experiments of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey tested whether blank...could trigger the formation of simple organic compounds from

electricity

In this method, the entire strand of DNA is mixed with short pieces of single-stranded DNA, called primers, that are complementary to the beginning of the specific DNA sequence the geneticist is trying to isolate. The complete strand of DNA is blank

heated.... to break apart

Which of these methods is a relatively simple, quick, and cheap method of identifying, isolating, and copying segments of DNA code and thus is the most widely used procedure today?

polymerase chain reaction

to break apart the hydrogen bonds connecting the bases in each pair and the mixture is then cooled so the blank

Which of these scenarios is an example of disruptive selection?

The dark and light color morphs of a butterfly population are maintained, and the intermediate gray morph has been eliminated from the population.

Genomics

The study of genome structure and function.

restriction enzymes

Type of enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific nucleotide sequence.

Binary fission is a prokaryotic mechanism of blank

asexual reproduction that yields two equal-sized, genetically identical descendant cells.

According to this summary of the history of life, the first major lineage to develop photosynthesis was blank?

bacteria.... this occurred around 2 to 3 billion years ago.

These smooth bricks represent

dideoxy nucleotides

At this point, the DNA polymerase begins to synthesize new strands of DNA starting from the primers. This process is repeated over and over, which not only isolates the desired segment of DNA but copies it repeatedly as well. This process is known as the blank

A one nucleotide DNA sequence variation carried by a measurable percentage of a population.

This idea is similar to current understandings of how evolution works, but it is not quite correct. Which of the following situations is a counterexample that disproves Lamarck's proposed pattern of how evolution occurs?

What are the steps of DNA cloning? Select all that apply.

A restriction enzyme cuts a specific nucleotide sequence in chromosomal DNA and in a plasmid cloning vector., DNA ligase joins the cut DNA fragments of chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA at their sticky ends, forming a recombinant plasmid.
