Using imprints from a plate with a complete medium and carrying bacterial colonies, you can select streptomycin-resistant mutants and prove that such mutations do not originate as adaptation. These imprints need to be used:
1. On plates with and without streptomycin
2. Only on plates with streptomycin
3. On plates with minimal medium
4. Only on plates without streptomycin

Restriction endonucleases:
1. | Are used in genetic engineering for ligating two DNA molecules. |
2. | Are used for in vitro DNA synthesis. |
3. | Are synthesized by bacteria as part of their defense mechanism. |
4. | Are present in mammalian cells for the degradation of DNA when the cell dies. |
