Question

The nucleases cleaving nucleotides one at a time from the end of the polynucleotide chain are: (A) Specific for 5&rsquo; end of RNA strand (B) Specific for 3&rsquo; end of RNA strand (C) Specific for both 5’ and 3’ ends of nucleotide strands (D) Non-specific for 5&rsquo; and 3&rsquo; ends of nucleotide strand

Exonucleases: remove nucleotides from the terminal ends (either 5' or 3') of DNA is one strand of double stranded DNA.

Q. The nucleases cleaving nucleotides one at a time from the end of the polynucleotide chain are:

Specific for 5’ end of RNA strand

Specific for 3’ end of RNA strand

Specific for both 5’ and 3’ ends of nucleotide strands

Non-specific for 5’ and 3’ ends of nucleotide strand

Exonucleases: remove nucleotides from the terminal ends (either 5' or 3') of DNA is one strand of double stranded DNA.
