Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Restriction enzymes belong to class of enzymes:
A
.Peptidase
B
.Amylases
C
.Lipases
D
.Nucleases
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Restriction enzymes belong to a larger class of enzymes called Nucleases. They cut DNA at special pelindromic sequence. Restriction enzymes are of two types-Restriction endonuclease and Restriction exonuclease.

Detailed explanation-2: -Restriction enzymes are one class of the broader endonuclease group of enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fourth type (type IV) – methylation-dependent restriction enzymes (MDREs) – are REs that preferentially target modified DNA containing glycosylated bases, or methylated on adenine or cytosine residues, but lack a cognate MTase altogether.

Detailed explanation-4: -Type III restriction enzymes are a group of endonucleases that recognize a non-pallindromic sequence, comprising two inversely oriented sites.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Three classes of restriction enzymes are there, I, II and III.
