Question

Mention the role of molecular scissors in recombinant DNA technology

Answer 1

Answer:

Restriction enzymes are also called 'molecular scissors' as they cleave DNA at or near specific recognition sequences known as restriction sites. These enzymes make one incision on each of the two strands of DNA and are also called restriction endonucleases.

Question:

Mention the role of molecular scissors in recombinant DNA technology

${\red{\underline{\underline{\bold{Answer:-}}}}}$

These molecular scissors are called Restriction enzymes or DNA scissors. Restriction enzymes are molecule specific, cut in a particular style and leave two types of ends of a DNA molecule. - It cuts DNA suitable for the cloning purpose

related question and answer:-

• Explain their role in the process of recombinant DNA technology?

• Molecular scissors are enzymes which cut the restriction ends of DNA. They cut the DNA at very specific places. The enzyme gets active only when it reads a particular sequence on the DNA molecule.
