Identify the wrong statement with regard to
Restriction Enzymes
- ASticky ends can be joined by using DNA ligases.
- BThey cut the strand of DNAat palindromic sites.
- CEach restriction enzyme functions by inspecting the length of a DNA sequence.
- DThey are useful in genetic engineering
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Restriction endonucleases make cuts at specific positions within the DNA. They function by inspecting the length of a DNA sequence. Restriction endonuclease binds to the DNA and cut the two strands of double helix at specific points in their sugarphosphate backbones. They are used in genetic engineering to form recombinant molecules of DNA. DNA ligases join the DNA fragments.
