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.

Restriction enzymes and exonucleases are the same thing.
