Answer
Plasmids are suitable for introducing new genetic material to cellular hosts because they are small and easily manipulated. In addition, the restriction enzyme recognition sequences of a plasmid provide an appropriate site for inserting foreign DNA.
Work Step by Step
Each fragment of separated DNA carries a reactive “overhang” at each cut. These overhangs are referred to as sticky ends because they have particular base sequences that are readily able to bind with complementary sticky ends.
