Question 1
Question
[blank_start]Miescher[blank_end] first isolated DNA. (He did it from white blood cells) This was in [blank_start]1869[blank_end].
Question 2
Question
Endonucleases were used as a defense mechanism against [blank_start]viruses[blank_end]. The host genome was protected via [blank_start]methylation[blank_end].
Question 3
Question
Endonucleases are sequence specific, however, if there is one or two mismatches, they can still cut.
Question 4
