Question

What are molecular scissors?their role on recombinant dna technology

Answer 1

(a) Restriction endonucleases are called molecular scissors as they cutthe DNA segments at particular locations. ... (b) Restriction enzymes cut the DNAstrands some distance away from the centre of the palindromic sites, but betweenthe same two bases on the opposite strands.

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.
