How can phosphatase activity terminated prior to a ligation reaction?

By alternatively cooling and heating

How is phosphatase related to the ligation reactions?

Phosphatases are not at all related to ligation reactions

Phosphate group is not required for the ligation reaction to take place, thus phosphatase is helpful

It is helpful in ceasing the unwanted ligation

Phosphatases are not at all related to ligation reactions

They act as a catalyst in case of the ligation reaction

Phosphatases refer to __________

the enzymes responsible for removal of phosphate group from the DNA molecules and replace them with hydrogen

the enzymes which add phosphate group at the end of the DNA molecule in the place of hydroxyl group

the enzymes which hydrolytically remove phosphate group from the DNA molecules and replace them with hydroxyl group

the enzymes responsible for removal of phosphate group from the DNA molecules and replace them with hydrogen

the enzymes responsible for replacing hydrogen in the DNA molecules with the phosphate group

Besides enzymatic means, physical stress can also be used for cleaving the DNA. Which of the following statements is true?

In physical stress, there are no chances of contamination

Sonication, needles, syringes, etc all come under the category of physical stress

In physical stress, there are no chances of contamination

The ends obtained have unique sequences

They are less effective than DNase treatment

Why is DNase preferred over restriction endonuclease in some cases?

DNase is abundant in comparison the restriction endonuclease

DNase is preferred over restriction endonuclease in some cases because the latter are not able to recognize some of the restriction sites

DNase is more specific as restriction endonuclease, so the required fragment is obtained

DNase is less specific as compared to restriction endonuclease, hence there are more chances of representation of all the possible fragments

DNase is abundant in comparison the restriction endonuclease

Which of the following statement is correct regarding partial digestion?

The number of fragments created by partial digestion are same as that of complete digestion

It is defined as the conditions where all the sites in the DNA sequence are not recognized

The number of fragments created by partial digestion are same as that of complete digestion

It is not useful in representation of genomic library

Exactly half of the sites in the DNA are recognized

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to a unit of an enzyme?

The amount of enzyme required for digestion of DNA with less number of sites is more than that of more number of sites in the same amount of DNA

One unit of enzyme is defined as the amount of enzyme required to digest 1miligram of standard DNA in a specific time of 1hr and under given temperature conditions

The amount of enzyme required doesn t vary with the number of sites present in the DNA

If more number of sites is there in the DNA more units of enzyme are required in comparison to same amount of DNA with fewer sites

The amount of enzyme required for digestion of DNA with less number of sites is more than that of more number of sites in the same amount of DNA

Isocaudomers are defined as the enzymes which recognize different sequence but generate same ends. Which of the following pairs of enzymes can be termed as isocuadomers?

DpnI (GA|TC) and BglII (A|GATCT)

BamHI (G|GATCC) and Sau3A (|GATC)

DpnI (GA|TC) and BglII (A|GATCT)

XbaI (T|CTAGA) and BamHI (G|GATCC)

Isoschizomers are defined as ___________

enzymes having same recognition sequence and always cutting at the same site

enzymes having same recognition sequence and always cutting at different site

enzymes having different recognition site and cutting at the same site

enzymes having same recognition site and they may or may not cut at the same site
