Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -No restriction enzyme is isolated from viruses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Sticky ends have free, dangling, or unpaired nitrogen bases that can link with complementary bases on other DNA segments to form recombinant DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following statements not true for restriction enzyme which is used in genetic engineering? It produces the same kind of sticky ends in different DNA molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Restriction enzymes do not cut at regular intervals; instead, they cut the DNA anywhere they find their specific restriction site.
