Column I Column II
A. Tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid 4. Agrobacterium tumifaciens
B. Restriction endonuclease 3. Cuts DNA at a specific position
C.Restriction exonuclease 2. Removes nucleotides from the ends of DNA
D.Isolation of purified DNA 1. Chilled ethanol

 

Explanation:

  • The tumor inducing (Ti) plasmid of Agrobacterium tumifaciens has now been modified into a cloning vector which is no more pathogenic to the plants but is still able to use the mechanisms to deliver genes of our interest into a variety of plants.
  • Restriction enzymes belong to a larger class of enzymes called nucleases. These are of two kinds; exonucleases and endonucleases. Exonucleases remove nucleotides from the ends of the DNA whereas, endonucleases make cuts at specific positions within the DNA.
  • Isolation of purified DNA involves the use of chilled ethanol to precipitate DNA out of a mixture of biomolecules, allowing for the separation and purification of DNA.
