- A. Gene of interest
- B. Expression system
- C. Molecular vector
- D. Endonucleases
Explanation
Genes can be isolated from the chromosomes by cutting the chromosomes on theflanking sites of the gene using special enzymes known as restriction endonucleases. Endonucleases can cleave or cut the phosphodiester bond within a polynucleotide chain.
