The site where restriction enzymes cut are a called:
|
|
cut sites
|
|
|
restriction sites
|
|
|
recognition sites
|
|
|
cleave sites
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This site is known as the restriction site. The restriction enzymes protect the live bacteria from bacteriophages. They recognize and cleave at the restriction sites of the bacteriophage and destroy its DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -The site recognized by a restriction enzyme to cleave DNA is called a recognition site. These sites are located on a DNA molecule containing specific sequences of nucleotide (4-8 base pair)
Detailed explanation-3: -Palindromic sequences. Solution : Restriction enzymes can cut at specific sites which resemble palindrome in nature having palindromic DNA sequences ( GAATTC-CTTAAG) So the correct answer is “Palindromic sequence"
