Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. In recombinant DNA technology, restriction enzymes are used as they recognize and cut DNA within a specific recognition sequence. BamH I is one such restriction enzyme which binds at the recognition sequence $\displaystyle 5$' G-G-A-T-C-C $\displaystyle 3$' and cleaves this sequence between G and G on each strand, whereas Alu I binds at the recognition sequence $\displaystyle 5$' A-G-C-T $\displaystyle 3$' and cleaves these sequences between G and C on each strand.
(a)
If Alu I is used to cut the given DNA strand, how many DNA fragments would be formed ? Write the sequence of each fragment formed with its polarity.
(b)
Which one of the two restriction enzymes BamH I or Alu I will preferably be used on the same given DNA strand to make a recombinant DNA molecule and why ?
(c)
After binding to the two strands of the double helix DNA, where specifically does the restriction enzyme act to cut the two strands of DNA ? Write the specific term used for the specific nucleotide sequences of DNA recognised by a restriction endonuclease.
OR
(c)
Write the specific sequence of DNA segment recognised by the restriction endonuclease EcoRI.
