An electron, an \( \alpha \)-particle, a proton and a neutron have the same kinetic energy. Which of these particles has the shortest de Broglie wavelength?
- A electron
- B proton
- C \( \alpha \)-particle
- D neutron
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( \alpha \)-particle
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mKE}} \) Since \( \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} \) and all particles have the same KE, the particle with the largest mass will have the shortest wavelength. Masses: \( m_e The…

Restriction endonuclease on finding its specific recognition sequence, bind to the DNA and cut each of the two strands of the double helix at specific points in their sugar -phosphate backbones. Each restriction endonuclease recognises a specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in the DNA. Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules such as RNA, proteins, polysaccharides and also lipids. This can be achieved by treating the bacterial cells/plant or animal tissue with enzymes such as lysozyme (bacteria), cellulase (plant cells), chitinase (fungus). Now a days the most commonly used matrix is agarose which is a natural polymer extracted from sea weeds. The DNA fragments separate (resolve) according to their size through sieving effect provided by the agarose gel. The first restriction endonuclease-Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was isolated and characterised five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognising a specific sequence of six base pairs. In addition to 'ori', the vector requires a selectable marker, which helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants. Transformation is a procedure through which a piece of DNA is introduced in a host bacterium. Normally, the genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline or kanamycin, etc., are considered useful selectable markers for E. coli
