Question

5.	Explain why a plasmid and a segment of DNA to be inserted into a plasmid must be cut with the same restriction enzyme. Use the term sticky ends in your response

anonymous · Answer

because of the restricted enzyme will create a specific sticky end (overhanging nucleotides). As long as the inserted and plasmids are cut with the same enzyme, they will fit together. If they would be cut with different enzymes (at least, with different sticky ends for the enzymes), they would not fit together.

hope this helps bro
