In the following palindromic base sequences of DNA, which one can be cut easily by particular restriction enzyme?
Options
- A5 ' G A A T T C 3 ' 3 ' C T T A A G 5 '
- B5 ' C T C A G T 3 ' 3 ' G A G T C A 5 '
- C5 ' G T A T T C 3 ' 3 ' C A T A A G 5 '
- D5 ' G A T A C T 3 ' 3 ' C T A T G A 5 '
Correct answer
A. 5 ' G A A T T C 3 ' 3 ' C T T A A G 5 '
Step-by-step solution
A sequence of base pairs that reads same on the two strands when orientation of reading is kept the same, is called a palindromic nucleotide sequence in the DNA. For example restriction enzyme EcoRI recognises a particular palindromic sequence:- 5 ' G A A T T C 3 ' 3 ' C T T A A G 5 '
