Restriction enzymes that are used in the...

Restriction enzymes that are used in the construction of recombinant DNA are endonucleases which cut the DNA at 'specific-recognition sequence'. What would be the disadvantage if they do not cut the DNA at specific-recognition sequence?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Restriction Enzymes**: - Restriction enzymes, also known as endonucleases, are proteins that cut DNA at specific sequences known as restriction sites. 2. **Importance of Specific Recognition Sequences**: - These specific recognition sequences are crucial because they allow researchers to target and isolate specific genes or DNA fragments for cloning or analysis. ...
