In the context of recombinant DNA technology, which of the following enzymes is used to create blunt ends in DNA fragments?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: B —
Solution
- Restriction enzymes recognize specific palindromic sequences in DNA.
- Some enzymes cut between the same base pairs on both strands to produce blunt ends.
- , , and produce sticky ends.
- recognizes the sequence and cuts between the and to produce blunt ends.
- Hence the answer is (B).
