1.
STEM Molecular Genetics Question 36: Why are sticky ends produced by restriction endonucleases essential for constructing recombinant DNA plasmids?
They mutate bacterial resistance genes permanently
They have single-stranded overhangs that readily form complementary hydrogen bonds with matching foreign DNA fragments
They permanently destroy DNA ligase activity
They prevent plasmids from entering bacterial cells
2.
STEM Immunology Question 35: Which immune cells are directly responsible for secreting perforin proteins and granzymes to lyse virally infected cells and tumor cells?
Plasma B-cells secreting IgG
Mast cells releasing histamine
Cytotoxic T-cells (CD8+ Tc) and Natural Killer (NK) cells
Helper T-cells (CD4+ Th) exclusively
