++
++
(B) Double-stranded DNA bacteriophage
++
++
(C) Single-stranded RNA bacteriophage

++
++
++
++
(C) Transfer of both strands of DNA
++
++
(D) A restriction endonuclease
++
++
(E) Integration of a transposon
++
++
++
Why do bacteria contain restriction enzymes?
++
++
++
(A) To cleave RNA for incorporation into ribosome
++
++
(B) To extend the length of bacterial chromosomes
++
++
(C) To prevent foreign DNA from incorporating into a bacterial genome
++
++
(D) To process the exons from prokaryotic mRNA
++
++
(E) To proteolytically cleave nuclear promoters
