Question

Restriction endonuclease (EcoRI) enzyme cut the strand of DNA (A) from the centre of the palindromic sequence. (B) a little away from the centre of the palindromic sequence. (C) a little away from recognization site. (D) cuts only single-stranded DNA.

Restriction endonuclease enzymes are called molecular scissors. These enzymes cut the strand of DNA from the centre of palindromic sequence. These sequences have same bases two DNA strand from 5 prime to 3 Prime end.
