In General,when the Addition of an Unsymmetrical Electrophilic Reagent to an Unsymmetrical

question 7

Multiple Choice

In general,when the addition of an unsymmetrical electrophilic reagent to an unsymmetrical alkene forms the product predicted by Markovnikov's rule,that occurs because:

• A)the product is statistically favored.
• B)steric hindrance favors its formation.
• C)it is formed via the more/most stable carbocation.
• D)it is the more/most stable product.
• E)All of these choices are reasons.

Definitions:

Double-Stranded DNA

DNA consisting of two complementary strands that wind around each other, forming a double helix structure.

Restriction Enzymes

Proteins used to cut DNA at specific sequences, essential tools in molecular biology for gene cloning and DNA modification.

Double-Stranded DNA

The structure of DNA in which two linear strands run in opposite directions (antiparallel) and are wound around each other, much like a twisted ladder, forming the characteristic double helix.

Sticky Ends

Single-stranded overhangs resulting from the action of restriction enzymes on DNA, which can be used to join DNA fragments together.
