Explain the process of recombinant DNA technology.

Explanation

Diagrammatically represent recombinant D.N.A technology.

Detailed Answer:
Each restriction endonuclease recognizes a specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in the DNA.
The palindrome in DNA is a sequence of base pairs that read the same on the two strands in 5...3 direction and in 3. .. 5. direction. e.g.
5..... GAATTC.... 3
3. .... CTTAAG.... 5
Restriction enzymes cut the strand a little away from the centre of the palindrome sites but between the same two bases on the opposite strands. This leaves single stranded overhanging stretches at the ends. They are called sticky ends.
They form H-bonds with their complementary cut counterparts. This stickiness facilitates action of the enzyme DNA ligase.
