Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘The enzyme binds DNA at specific sites and cuts only one of the two strands’
Detailed explanation-2: -SmaI is an example of a restriction enzyme that cuts straight through the DNA strands, creating DNA fragments with a flat or blunt end. Other restriction enzymes, like EcoRI, cut through the DNA strands at nucleotides that are not exactly opposite each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement best describes restriction enzymes? They are important for cloning applications because they can be used to cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences.
