Restriction Enzymes |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Produced by some kinds of bacteria, restriction enzymes recognize specific sequences of DNA and cut the double strand where the sequence occurs. Treating the DNA of two different organisms with the same restriction enzyme produces complementary fragments, or fragments with ends that fit together. These can be combined in a hybrid DNA molecule that, if part of a living cell, expresses traits of both parents. | ||||||
