Answer:

The foreign gene might be lost

Step-by-step explanation:

Restriction enzymes have two properties useful in recombinant DNA technology.They cut DNA into fragments of a size suitable for cloning at palindromic sites. Many restriction enzymes make staggered cuts that create single-stranded sticky ends conducive to the formation of recombinant DNA. The foreign might be cleaved and removed from the plasmid. plasmid is an extrachromosomal strand in bacteria.
