In agar gel electrophoresis, the restriction fragments produced by restriction enzymes:
1.
move towards cathode
2.
do not move at all
3.
are separated according to size with smaller fragments moving farther
4.
are transported onto a nitrocellulose membrane

It is usually necessary to induce ‘competence’ in bacterial cells to transform them in recombinant DNA procedures mainly because:
| 1. | bacterial cell has a cell wall |
| 2. | bacteria do not have a well defined nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
| 3. | DNA is a hydrophilic molecule |
| 4. | DNA is associated with positively charged histone proteins |

It is possible to make human proteins in bacterial cells with rDNA experiments because:
| 1. | bacterial cells replicate faster than eukaryotic cells |
| 2. | genetic code is almost universal |
| 3. | bacterial cells have plasmids that can be used as a vector |
| 4. | bacterial cells produce restriction enzymes |

Polymerase chain reaction can amplify DNA, producing about 1 billion copies in 30 cycles. The correct sequence of the steps of this reaction is:
| 1. | Denaturation → Annealing of primers → Extension of primers |
| 2. | Denaturation → Extension of primers → Annealing of primers |
| 3. | Extension of primers → Annealing of primers → Denaturation |
| 4. | Annealing of primers → Extension of primers → Denaturation |
