Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -On cleaving a circular DNA 3 fragments of DNA will be obtained as there are 3 recognition sites for restriction enzyme.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution : If a linear DNA molecule is digested with a restriction enzyme having four recongnition sites, it will produce 5 fragments.
Detailed explanation-3: -If a linear DNA molecule is digested with a restriction enzyme at four recognition sites, 4 fragments would be produced. II. If a closed circular DNA molecule is digested with a restriction enzyme at six recognition sites, 6 fragments would be produced.
Detailed explanation-4: -If a linear DNA molecule is digested with a restriction enzyme at four recognition sites on the DNA, 5 fragments would be produced.
