A specific recognition sequence identified by endonucleases to make cuts at specific positions within the DNA is :
- APoly (A) tail sequences
- BDegenerate primer sequence
- COkazaki sequences
- DPalindromic Nucleotide sequences
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Each restriction endonuclease recognizes a specific palondromic nucleotide sequence in the DNA. Once it finds its specific recognition sequence it bind to DNA and cuts each of the two strands of DNA.
During post transcriptional modification in eukaryotes, poly(A) tail (200-300 adenylate residues) are added at 3' end of hnRNA.
During DNA replication Okazaki fragments are synthesized discontinuously and joined by DNA ligase.
A PCR primer sequence is termed degenerate if some of its position have several possible bases.
