The steps included in a cycle of Polymerase Chain Reaction are:
1. | initiation, elongation, and termination |
2. | transfection, transformation, and transduction |
3. | denaturation, annealing, and extension |
4. | restriction, electrophoresis, and elution |
Consider the two statements:
I: | It is desirable to use restriction enzymes produce 'sticky ends' for cloning experiments in genetic engineering. |
II: | If the donor DNA and the vector DNA are cut by such same restriction endonuclease, ligation of the two is easy. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | Only I is correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
