It is useful to use restriction enzymes in rDNA experiments that produce sticky ends in the resultant fragments because:

1.  it allows a cell to recognize fragments produced by the enzyme
2.  the single-stranded ends serve as starting points for DNA replication
3.  the fragments will bond to other fragments with complementary single-stranded ends
4.  only single-stranded DNA segments can code for proteins

Gene cloning occurs:

1. when a phage transfers bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another.
2. when a bacterium takes up DNA from the surrounding fluid.
3. when a bacterium carrying a recombinant plasmid reproduces, thus allowing for the production of multiple copies of the recombinant plasmid.
4. when DNA is produced from an RNA template.

Restriction enzymes do not act on the DNA of the host cell in which they are produced, because :

1.  Host DNA is packed into chromosomes
2.  Restriction enzymes are ineffective on host DNA
3.  Host DNA does not have the restriction site for the restriction enzymes.
4.  Restriction site of host DNA is methylated.

Look at the given hypothetical vector-

  

Suppose we cut the desired gene as well as the plasmid with the help of the Restriction enzyme EcoR I and ligate them. What would be true?

1.  Kanamycin resistance will select the transformants from non-transformants while tetracycline resistance will select recombinant transformants from non-recombinant transformants. 
2.  Tetracyclin resistance will select the transformants from non-transformants while kanamycin resistance will select recombinant transformants from non-recombinant transformants.
3.  Both will select only transformants.
4.  Both will select only recombinants.
