Question
Restriction enzymes are used to cut
single stranded RNA
double stranded DNA
single stranded DNA
double stranded RNA
Solution
B.
double stranded DNA
Restriction enzymes cut double stranded DNA molecules at specific sites called recognition sites that have specific base sequence. The restriction enzyme Eco RI, Bam II and Hind III are used in recombinant DNA technology to produce cuts in vector and other DNA molecules to obtain chimeric DNA.
