Q. No.A bacterial cell was transformed with a recombinant DNA molecule that was generated using a human gene. However, the transformed cells did not produce the desired protein. The reasons could be:
| 1. | Human genes may have intron which bacteria cannot process |
| 2. | Amino acid codons for humans and bacteria are different |
| 3. | Human protein is formed but degraded by bacteria |
| 4. | All of the above |

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 |
