The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statements about restriction endonucleases, let's analyze each statement one by one: 1. **Statement I**: "It is the enzyme which cuts DNA at a particular point." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that recognize specific sequences in DNA and cut the DNA at those sites. 2. **Statement II**: "The first restriction endonuclease was HindII." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The first restriction endonuclease to be discovered was actually HindII, not Hindll. The correct name is HindII. 3. **Statement III**: "Overall, 900 restriction enzymes have been isolated from about 200 strains." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. While many restriction enzymes have been isolated, the number of strains is actually around 230, not 200. Therefore, this statement does not hold true. 4. **Statement IV**: "Each restriction endonuclease recognizes a specific palindromic sequence." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Each restriction enzyme recognizes a specific palindromic sequence in the DNA, which is crucial for their function in cutting DNA. **Conclusion**: The correct statements are I, IV, and the corrected version of II (HindII). Therefore, the correct answer includes statements I, IV, and the corrected version of II. ### Final Answer: The correct statements about restriction endonucleases are: - Statement I: True - Statement II: False (correct name is HindII) - Statement III: False - Statement IV: True Thus, the correct statements are I and IV.
