Question:medium

A circular plasmid of 6 kb has a single EcoRI site. After complete digestion, how many fragments are produced?

Show Hint

Remember these important rules: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Circular DNA:}&\quad \\ \text{Fragments}=\text{Restriction Sites}[0.2cm] \\ \text{Linear DNA:}&\quad \\ \text{Fragments}=\text{Restriction Sites}+1 \end{aligned} } \] This shortcut is frequently tested in biotechnology and molecular biology examinations.
