Questions
In restrictiоn enzyme-bаsed clоning, digesting DNA tо produce sticky ends rаther thаn blunt ends is often preferred. Furthermore, the subsequent ligation of these ends requires specific biochemical interactions at the cloning sites. Which of the following accurately describes the functional advantage of sticky ends AND the correct biochemical role of the 5'-phosphate during the ligation step?
