Correct answer: A
A palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid
sequence (DNA or RNA) that is the same
whether read 5' (five-prime) to 3' (three prime)
on one strand or 5' to 3' on the complementary
strand with which it forms a double helix.
5' - GAATTC - 3'
3' - CTTAAG - 5'
It is a palindromic sequence of DNA cut by
restriction enzyme Eco RI.
