The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "In which of the following regions will exonuclease cut the DNA?", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Function of Exonuclease**: - Exonucleases are enzymes that remove nucleotide monophosphates from the ends of a polynucleotide chain. They work specifically at the ends of the DNA strands. 2. **Identify the Options**: - a. Within the polynucleotide chain - b. At the end of the polynucleotide chain - c. At particular recognition sites on polynucleotide - d. At the end of the polynucleotide chain (Note: This option is repeated) 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option a**: "Within the polynucleotide chain" - This is incorrect because exonucleases do not cut DNA internally; that is the function of endonucleases. - **Option b**: "At the end of the polynucleotide chain" - This is correct as exonucleases act at the ends of the DNA. - **Option c**: "At particular recognition sites on polynucleotide" - This is incorrect for exonucleases; endonucleases may act at specific recognition sites. - **Option d**: "At the end of the polynucleotide chain" - This is a repeat of option b and is also correct. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **b. At the end of the polynucleotide chain**. ### Final Answer: - The exonuclease will cut the DNA at the end of the polynucleotide chain (Option b).
