DNA ligase binds
A)recombinant DNA to transformed bacterial cells.
B)recombinant DNA to recombinant proteins.

D)nucleotide base pairs together.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides in the DNA backbone, thus joining segments of DNA together. It does not bind to transformed bacterial cells or recombinant proteins, nor does it join nucleotide base pairs together directly.
