Hi friend!
No, eukaryotic cells do not have restriction endonucleases.
All the restriction endonucleases have been isolated from various strains of bacteria. Prokaryotes have this enzyme as a defence mechanism to destroy the foreign DNA or to restrict the growth of bacteriophages.
Hope it helps

➖No, eukaryotic cells do not have restriction endonucleases.

➖This is because the DNA of eukaryotes is highly methylated by a modification enzyme, called methylase.

➖Methylation protects the DNA from the activity of restriction enzymes .

➖These enzymes are present in prokaryotic cells where they help prevent the invasion of DNA by virus.
