Scientists use heat and bacterial transformation to add novel DNA into bacterial cells.

Answer 1

The statement that best describes how basic DNA technology is used to construct recombinant DNA molecules is:

Scientists use restriction enzymes to cut DNA molecules and ligation to paste DNA fragments together.

This statement accurately reflects the process of creating recombinant DNA, where specific DNA sequences are cut using restriction enzymes and then joined together using ligation.
