Which of the following tools of recombinant DNA technology is INCORRECTLY paired with one of its uses?

1. restriction endonuclease - production of DNA fragments for gene cloning.
2. DNA polymerase - copies DNA sequences to create primers in the polymerase chain reaction.
3. reverse transcriptase - production of cDNA from mRNA.
4. electrophoresis - RLFP analysis.

Identify the correct statement:

1. The structural gene is polycistronic mostly in eukaryotes and monocistronic mostly in prokaryotes.
2. Introns are said to be those sequences in the eukaryotic structural gene that appear in mature or processed mRNA.
3. During transcription both strands of the DNA are transcribed but in a short length.
4. Transcription and translation can be coupled in bacteria.
