Restriction enzymes produced by some bacteria:
1. cleave phosphodiester bond in the main chromosomal DNA of the bacterium.
2. cut single stranded DNA at random positions.
3. prevent the multiplication of bacteriophage in bacteria.
4. provide resistance against antibiotics.
The DNA fragments separated on agar gel by electrophoresis can be visualised:
1. without staining in the visible light
2. without staining on exposure to UV light
3. after staining with polyethylene glycol followed by exposure to IR radiation
4. after staining with ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation
If an enzyme catalyses the removal of nucleotides from the ends of DNA, then it should be called as:
1. endonuclease
2. exonuclease
3 ligase
4. reverse transcriptase
