Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Restriction endonuclease cuts DNA at specific places.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the laboratory, restriction enzymes (or restriction endonucleases) are used to cut DNA into smaller fragments. The cuts are always made at specific nucleotide sequences. Different restriction enzymes recognise and cut different DNA sequences.
