Question

mention the role of restriction enzymes in recombinant dna technology

Answer 1

Scientists can use restriction enzymes to cut a single gene from a larger piece of DNA. ... Scientists believerestriction enzymes evolved to protect bacteria from invading viruses. By recognizing a sequence in viral DNA and cutting the DNA molecule, restriction enzymesinhibit, or restrict, viral infections of bacteria.

hope this help you .....

Answer 2

Answer:

The role of restriction enzymes in rDNA technology is as follows:

a) They recognise a specific site and cut the DNA into fragments of sizes which are suitable for cloning purposes.

b) These enzymes bring about staggered cuts that create sticky ends which aids in formation of recombinant DNA.
