A 1.5‑kb fragment of DNA is cloned into a plasmid vector that is 5.5 kb long at the EcoRI site, and the plasmid vector is then used to transform bacteria. If the plasmid DNA is then extracted from a single bacterial colony and digested with EcoRI, what digestion products will be produced if the plasmid contains the fragment?

The answer is One 1.5‑kb fragment and one 5.5‑kb fragment.

Explanation:

EcoRI digestion will result into 2 fragment corresponding in size to the 1.5‑kb fragment which will be cloned into the plasmid + the 5.5‑kb plasmid itself.

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.
