SOLVED: Texts: A restriction map lists the locations of DNA sequences that are cut by a particular restriction enzyme for a piece of DNA, such as a chromosome or a plasmid. Restriction maps are important when generating a construct for experimental use. Digesting the DNA sequence with the restriction enzymes will result in fragmented DNA of predictable sizes, based on the restriction map, that allow a researcher to analyze if his or her construct was generated correctly when visualized using gel
