1. Genetic engineers construct recombinant DNA molecules using two enzymes: restriction endonuclease and DNA ligase. What do these two enzymes do?
Why is penicillin toxic to many bacteria?
A B C D E
Answers:
1. B. They catalyse different reactions: restriction endonuclease hydrolyses DNA into smaller fragments; DNA ligase joins fragments into larger molecules
2. E. It inhibits cell wall formation
