Which enzyme is known as genetic scissors?

Restriction enzymes

How do we cut DNA?

In the laboratory, restriction enzymes (or restriction endonucleases) are used to cut DNA into smaller fragments. The cuts are always made at specific nucleotide sequences. Different restriction enzymes recognise and cut different DNA sequences.

What is the first bacteria on Earth?

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, started out on Earth quite a while ago. Possible fossil examples have been found in rocks that are around 3500 million years old, in Western Australia.

What was the first living thing on earth?

The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.

What came after dinosaurs?

The good old days. About 60 million years ago, after ocean dinosaurs went extinct, the sea was a much safer place. Marine reptiles no longer dominated, so there was lots of food around, and birds like penguins had room to evolve and grow. Eventually, penguins morphed into tall, waddling predators.

Can one piranha kill you?

Although often described as extremely dangerous in the media, piranhas typically do not represent a serious risk to humans. ... Most piranha attacks on humans only result in minor injuries, typically to the feet or hands, but they are occasionally more serious and very rarely can be fatal.
