DNA CloningDNA Cloning Restriction enzymes (endonucleasesRestriction enzymes (endonucleases): in ): in

nature, these enzymes protect bacteria nature, these enzymes protect bacteria from intruding DNA; they cut up the DNA from intruding DNA; they cut up the DNA (restriction); very specific(restriction); very specific

Restriction siteRestriction site: recognition sequence for : recognition sequence for a particular restriction enzymea particular restriction enzyme

Restriction fragmentsRestriction fragments: segments of DNA : segments of DNA cut by restriction enzymes in a cut by restriction enzymes in a reproducable wayreproducable way

Sticky endSticky end: short extensions of : short extensions of restriction fragmentsrestriction fragments

DNA ligaseDNA ligase: enzyme that can join the : enzyme that can join the sticky ends of DNA fragmentssticky ends of DNA fragments

Cloning vectorCloning vector: DNA molecule that can : DNA molecule that can carry foreign DNA into a cell and carry foreign DNA into a cell and replicate there (usually bacterial replicate there (usually bacterial plasmids)plasmids)
