Question:
Which of these enzymes is required to cleave a plasmid?
Which of these enzymes is required to cleave a plasmid?
Show Hint
Restriction enzymes are indispensable tools in molecular biology.
Updated On: Dec 26, 2024
- Ligase
- Endonuclease
- Exonuclease
- Polymerase
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Endonucleases, like restriction enzymes, cleave DNA at specific recognition sites.
This ability makes them indispensable in genetic engineering, allowing scientists to cut and manipulate plasmid DNA for recombinant DNA technology.
