Assertion : Restriction endonuclease rec...

Assertion : Restriction endonuclease recognize short palindromic. Sequence and cut at specific sites.
Reason : When a restriction endonuclease acts on Palindrome, it cleaves both the the strands of DNA molecules.

A

A is incorrect and R is correct

B

A and R are both correct, but R is not explanation of A

C

A is correct and R is incorrect

D

A and R are both correct and R is explanation of A

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
The restriction endonuclease cut the DNA sequences at a specific site and produce DNA strands with the sticky ends. It cuts both the strands of DNA at the palindrome sites.
