Hey Men !!!


Some of the DNA is single-stranded and not partnered up with its corresponding nucleotides. These parts of the DNA are called sticky ends.

• Their Significance :-

They're 'sticky' because they can easily be glued or pasted back with their complimentary nucleotides.

Longer overhangs are called cohesive ends or sticky ends. They are most often created by restriction endonucleases when they cut DNA. Very often they cut the two DNA strands four base pairs from each other, creating a four-base 5' overhang in one molecule and a complementary 5' overhang in the other.
