Answer:

Restriction endonucleases are the enzymes that can identify a specific sequence of base pairs and can cut the DNA based on that sequence. This restriction endonucleases can even cut its DNA too.

Explanation:

To reduce this chance, the DNA that is required to be protected is methylated at particular intervals, so that it does have a non-identifiable property. This doesn’t interfere with the genetic expression but, leads to the non-identification by the restriction endonucleases. Many bacteria also use this process as a mutation to get rid of these endonucleases.
