Question

Write the palindromic nucleotide sequence that EcoRI reads, and indicate the site of its action.

Answer 1

Answer:

The palindromic nucleotide sequence serves as recognition sites of DNA by which it binds to the site and cuts each of the two strands

Answer 2

The palindromic nucleotide sequence that EcoRI reads is 5'-GAATTC-3' and the site of its action is 3'-CTTAAG-5'.

• The palindromic nucleotide  sequence serves as a recognition sites of DNA.
• By hydrolysing the phosphodiester backbones, it cuts each of the two strands of the double helix at specific points.
• The orientation is kept same on both strands the base pairs also reads same on both the DNA strands.
