Sticky Ends Importance Exposed Bases Gene Pair Bit

Sticky ends are important as their exposed complementary bases allow them to anneal with other DNA fragments cut by the same restriction enzyme, facilitating subsequent ligation.

Sticky ends are important because their exposed bases can pair with complementary sticky ends on other DNA fragments, facilitating ligation by DNA ligase.
