Recombinant DNA Technology and Applications · Zoology

DNA ligase is used in recombinant DNA technology to:

  1. Cut DNA fragments
  2. Separate DNA strands
  3. Join DNA fragments
  4. Amplify DNA
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Join DNA fragments

DNA ligase joins DNA fragments by forming phosphodiester bonds. It is essential for sealing inserted DNA into vectors.
