Calvin Williams Chapter 20 1. Advances in recombinant DNA technology allow scientists to work with smaller fragments of DNA‚ give them more tools to dissect and analyze DNA‚ and also allow for them to make many copies of a strand of DNA. 2. Restriction enzymes are made by bacteria to cut up invading DNA. They target specific base sequences in the DNA and then work to cut out those sequences from the DNA. 3. When a restriction enzyme cuts out a portion of DNA‚ it will sometimes leave a sticky

Reflection: SS Chapters 6 & 7 I believe that there is much that we take for granted in our world today. One of these things we take for granted in the instant “treatment” for plants. We do so without even a second thought or consideration and continue to let it happen year after year. We also take for granted our everyday dependencies that stem from nature. I then question what it would take for us to realize our dependency on nature and to respect it as such. On page 73 of the reading‚ it discusses
