What to Focus On
- Biotechnology uses organisms, cells, or enzymes for useful products.
- Modern biotechnology is based on genetic engineering and bioprocess engineering.
- Traditional biotechnology includes microbial processes such as curd, bread, and wine production.
- Genetic engineering alters DNA or RNA to change the host phenotype.
- Recombinant DNA is formed by combining DNA from different sources.
- Ori is needed for replication of alien DNA inside the host.
- Restriction enzymes are endonucleases.
- Exonucleases act on DNA ends.
- Hind II was the first characterised restriction endonuclease.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
EcoRI was the first restriction endonuclease isolated and characterised.
In EcoRI, the letter R stands for restriction.
