iii

A circular DNA molecule is subjected to complete restriction digestion by (1) BamHI alone,
(2) Haelll alone, and (3) both enzymes together. The DNA fragments are then separated using
gel electrophoresis. Results are shown in Figure 2:

(i)
How long is the original DNA molecule?
(ii)
Does the longest BamHI fragment contain a Haelll restriction site? Explain your
answer.
(ii)
The same restriction digestion experiment was repeated for BamHI on the same DNA
molecule. However, the incubation period of the reaction was lengthened for
additional 30 minutes. Figure 3 illustrates the results after gel electrophoresis. Why is
the result different from the earlier gel? Discuss your answer.
