Question:
Identify the wrong statement with regard to Restriction Enzymes.
Identify the wrong statement with regard to Restriction Enzymes.
Updated On: Apr 14, 2025
- Each restriction enzyme functions by inspecting the length of a DNA sequence.
- They cut the strand of DNA at palindromic sites.
- They are useful in genetic engineering.
- Sticky ends can be joined by using DNA ligases.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Sticky ends contain free or hanging or unpaired nitrogen bases which can pair to complementary bases present on other DNA segment required to create a recombinant DNA. A ligase is required in absence of sticky ends to join together two segments of DNA.
So, the correct answer is 'Sticky ends can be joined by using DNA ligases.'

Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a vast field of biology that involves the creation, production, and modification of useful products for human welfare using both the technology and the execution of living organisms and their components. An agricultural engineer, Karoly Ereky, coined the word "biotechnology" in 1919, achieving him the title of "Father of Biotechnology."
Principles of Biotechnology:
Among many, the two core techniques that entitled the birth of modern biotechnology are :
- Genetic Engineering is one of the methods of direct modifications of an organism's genome (i.e., DNA and RNA). It requires the introduction of new genes into host species to escalate function or trait, hence altering the host organism's phenotype.
- Bioprocess Engineering is one of the methods of maintaining sterile conditions to facilitate the growth of large quantities of desired microbes and other eukaryotic cells for the development of new or modified biotechnological products such as enzymes, vaccines, antibiotics, and other biotechnological products.
