|
The DNA is protected by site-specific methylating enzymes.
|
|
20. The polymerase chain reaction has many cycles of three temperature steps: 95°C, 55°C, and 72°C. At the 95°C stage,

|
the genome structure depends on the species.

|
23. Enzymes that regulate DNA supercoiling are called
|
topoisomerases.

24. Often researchers will have bacteria produce a segment of DNA that they are interested in. To obtain the largest amount of the DNA sequence of interest, it is best to put the DNA into
|
a high-copy-number plasmid.
