A circular plasmid is completely digested by the restriction enzymes EcoRI and BamHI. The distances between the restriction sites are as follows:
a)The distance between EcoRI and BamHI is 4 kb.
b)The distance between BamHI and the second EcoRI site is 6 kb.
If the total size of the plasmid is 10 kb, what is the size of the fragment between the first EcoRI site and the second EcoRI site after digestion?
