Question:
Which of the following statements are correct? Explain your answers.
A. Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sites that are always located between genes.
B. DNA migrates toward the positive electrode during electrophoresis.
C. Clones isolated from cDNA libraries contain promoter sequences.
D. PCR utilizes a heat-stable DNA polymerase because for each amplification step, double stranded DNA must be heat-denatured.
E. Digestion of genomic DNA with AluI, a restriction enzyme that recognizes a four-nucleotide sequence, produces fragments that are all exactly 256 nucleotides in length.
F. To make a cDNA library, both a DNA polymerase and a reverse transcriptase must be used.
G. DNA fingerprinting by PCR relies on the fact that different individuals have different numbers of repeats in STR regions in their genome.
H. It is possible for a coding region of a gene to be present in a genomic library prepared from a particular tissue but to be absent from a cDNA library prepared from the same tissue.
