You are a researcher working with recombinant DNA technology (e.g. moving DNA from one donor organism into an unrelated recipient organism) and you have two possible recipient strains to choose from. One strain has a mutation that knocks out the cell’s restriction systems and the other strain has a mutation that knocks out the cell’s modification systems. (Neither of these damage the recipient cell’s ability to function). Which strain would you choose to introduce your recombinant DNA into and why, to increase the success of these DNA transfer experiments?
