Biotechnology: Principles and Processes

The following statements describe characteristics of the enzyme restriction endonuclease. Identify the INCORRECT statement.

  1. A.The enzyme cuts a DNA molecule at an identified position within the DNA
  2. B.The enzyme binds DNA at specific sites and cuts only one of the two strands✓
  3. C.The enzyme cuts the sugar-phosphate backbone at specific sites on each strand
  4. D.The enzyme recognises a specific palindromic nucleotide sequence in the DNA

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
