Q. Which of the following could be a restriction enzyme recognition site?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

r-DNA technology is a process that uses endonucleases for making transformants. In it, a specific part of DNA sequence is either removed or added. The endonucleases make cut at a specific sequence of the DNA called a recognition site. These sequences are palindromic in nature. Palindromic sequence have the same sequence of base pairs on both strands when read from both the direction $- \, 3’ \rightarrow 5’ \, or \, 5’ \rightarrow 3’.$
The sequence ATGCAT will have the complementary palindromic base sequence as TACGAT.
