In your laboratory journal, describe the two tools of molecular biology that are often described as the scissors and glue for manipulating dna. describe how these tools of molecular biology combined with plasmids can be used to make copies of an important gene.

Most often, restriction enzymes cut within the recognition sequence ... Scientists use restriction enzymes as molecular scissors to cut DNA strands at specific locations, producing DNA fragments. The resulting DNA fragments can be joined together using a second enzyme called DNA ligase, which acts like a molecular glue
