Hi! Need help with bio/genetics homework...

Why is a PCR necessary in order to determine the identity of a SNP by RFLP?

3. Listed below are several restriction enzymes along with specific nucleotide sequence recognized by the restriction enzyme:

Restriction enzyme Recognition sequence

AluI 5’-AGCT-3’

HaeIII 5’-GGCC-3’

HindIII 5’-AAGCTT-3’

BamHI 5’-GGATCC-3’

NotI 5’-GCGGCCGC-3’

Let’s assume that you would like to digest chromosome 1 from the fruit fly Drosophila with these restriction enzymes.

For each of the above enzymes, if we assume that the Drosophila genome is composed of 30% A, 30% T, 20% G, and 20% C, what is the average distance between each of these recognition sequences?

1. Hundreds of different restriction endonucleases have been discovered, each with its own recognition sequence. What are the recognition sequences for the enzymes PstI, HindIII, and SspI? New England Biolabs specializes in restriction enzymes and you can look up their recognition sequences in the company catalog online: https://www.neb.com/products.

2. What is meant by a 5’ overhang, a 3’ overhang, and a blunt end in relationship to restriction enzymes? You may give examples to indicate their meanings.
