From A World of Baby Names by Teresa Norman. named my daughter Clara Jane. I love her name. It has a classic wise feel to the name. It is not a popular name. I didn't want my daughter to be one of 10 kids with the same name in her classroom.
Restriction enzymes or to use their correct name, restriction endonucleases, are a type of enzyme which have the ability to cut molecules of DNA. They are often referred to as genetic scissors.
The restriction enzyme EcoRI will be mixed with each of the 3 unknown samples in order to cut (or digest) any plasmids that are present. The resulting DNA fragments will then be separated using agarose gel electrophoresis in order to determine what size fragments, if any, were produced.
