NEET Zoology Recombinant DNA MCQ Question
In the process of creating recombinant DNA, if a fragment of source DNA is 1000 base pairs long and is cut by a restriction enzyme resulting in 5 fragments, what would be the total length of all fragments in base pairs?
1000 base pairs
995 base pairs
1005 base pairs
990 base pairs
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When a restriction enzyme cuts a source DNA into fragments, the total length of all fragments combined equals the original length of the source DNA. Hence, 1000 base pairs.
