2. It is double stranded, self replicating, circular DNA molecule present in bacteria which is widely used
as a gene cloning vector. The structure labelled 2 in the figure is .......
3. These enzymes are called as molecular scissors which is essential for making internal cuts in a DNA
molecule or vector at specific sites. The enzyme used in making cut in the vector (labelled 3) is ......
4. The cut by the enzyme in the vector (labelled 4) creates single stranded unpaired regions of DNA. This
type of cut pattern is called as........
