Q174 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Zoology

A foreign DNA and plasmid cut by the same restriction endonuclease can be joined to form a recombinant plasmid using

A
EcoRI
B
Taq polymerase
C
Polymerase III
Correct answer
D
Ligase

Solution

In DNA recombinant technology, linking of foreign DNA and the plasmid is made possible by DNA ligase which is also called "molecular glue".

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
