Biotechnology Principles And Processes
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Restriction endonucleases recognise specific sequence to cut DNA known as palindromic nucleotide sequence.
Statement II: Restriction endonucleases cut the DNA strand a little away from the centre of the palindromic site.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
most appropriate answer from the options given
below:
A Both Statement I and Statement II are
incorrect
B Statement I is correct but Statement II is
incorrect
C Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is
correct
D Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

AI-generated explanation. Check against your textbook.
Explanation: Statement I is correct: Restriction endonucleases recognize specific palindromic nucleotide sequences. Statement II is also correct: these enzymes cut the DNA within the recognition site, often a little away from the center of the palindromic sequence, producing "sticky" or blunt ends as described in NCERT. Thus, both statements are correct.
๐ง Did You Know? Most Type II restriction enzymes cut within or near the palindromic target, enabling precise genetic manipulation for cloning experiments.
๐ก NCERT Memory Line: Restriction endonucleases recognize palindromic sequences and cut within those sites, often not exactly at the center.
