Question

Explain why a plasmid and a segment of DNA to be inserted into a plasmid must be cut with the same restriction enzyme

Answer 1

Welcome to OpenStudy, what do you already know?

Answer 2

Because the restriction enzymes will create a specific "sticky end" (overhanging nucleotides). As long as the insert and the plasmids are cut with the same restriction enzyme, they will fit together.
If they would be cut with a different enzyme (at least enzymes that create different sticky ends), they would not fit together.
