Answer:
Explanation:
The main aim of this experiment is to correctly identify the sequential steps needed for making recombinant DNA molecules.
The first step is given as:
DNA is treated with restriction enzyme
The remaining steps in order are:
[tex]\text{-all the fragments have identical sticky ends: 5'-TGCA-3'}[/tex]
[tex]\text{-DNA ligase joins the sticky ends of the DNA sample and the plasmid}[/tex]
[tex]\text{-cells containing the recombinant plasmid are grown in a medium with}[/tex]
[tex]\text{ampicillin and x-gal(a galactose derivative)}[/tex]
[tex]\text{-white colonies that survive on the culture medium are identified as}[/tex]
[tex]\text{having the recombinant plasmid}[/tex]
[tex]\text{-colonies containing the recombinant plasmid can be removed from the}[/tex]
[tex]\text{culture medium and grown}[/tex]
