What is E. Coli?
500
Why does DNA move during Gel Electrophoresis?
It moves because it is attracted to the positive node.
(DNA is negatively charged)

State two (2) uses of restriction enzymes.
Creating recombinant DNA
Preparing DNA for Gel Electrophoresis
DNA mapping
Gene Editing
500
This tool is used to transport genetic material into an organism/cell.
What is a Vector?
500
This is used as a common vector for E. Coli. These are small, circular sections of DNA in bacteria that will replicate separately from the rest of the genome.
