Question

Restriction Endonuclease - Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point by recognising a specific sequence of ______.

Options

• Six base pairs

• Four base pairs

• Seven base pairs

• Three base pairs

Answer 1

Restriction Endonuclease - Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point by recognising a specific sequence of six base pairs.

Explanation:

The restriction endonuclease Hind II identifies a recognition sequence, a six-base pair sequence in DNA. Hind II always cuts DNA at this specific six-base pair region, resulting in precise and predictable DNA cleavage. These particular sequences are palindromic, which means they read the same in both directions.
