B) easily converted to produce any product we desire. C) turned off or on at our whim. D) used to cure all known diseases. E) create plants resistant to all insect pests. 4-DNA are cut in specific location with A) restriction enzymes B) ligases. C) reverse transcriptase. D) polymerase E) plasmids 5-In double-stranded DNA, which of the following base ratios always equals 1? b.C/T d.G/A 6.

Explanation / Answer

Question 1 : (B) cut the DNA fragment (gene) of interest.

Question 2 : (A) cutting by restriction enzymes "at the centre" in a specific nucleotide sequence

Question 3 : (A) moved from one organism to potentially any other organism.
