Question #2
The discovery of the enzyme 'restriction endonuclease' was a milestone in biotechnology. The first such enzyme was isolated by:
A. Paul Berg
B. Hamilton O. Smith, Kent W. Wilcox, and Thomas J. Kelly
C. Kary Mullis
D. Watson and Crick

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
While restriction enzymes were first observed by Linn and Arber, the first Type II restriction endonuclease (HindII), which is the type used in genetic engineering because it cuts at specific recognition sites, was isolated and characterized by Hamilton O. Smith, Kent W. Wilcox, and Thomas J. Kelly in 1970 from Haemophilus influenzae. For this discovery, Smith shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1978. Kary Mullis invented PCR.

Question #3
Identify the correct statement about genetic drift:
A. It has a greater effect in large populations.
B. It is a non-random change in allele frequency.
C. It always leads to adaptation.
D. It can lead to loss of genetic variation.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequency, more pronounced in small populations, and can reduce genetic diversity. Natural selection leads to adaptation.
