A specific recognition sequence identified by endonucleases to make cuts at specific positions within the DNA is:

Options

  1. ADegenerate primer sequence
  2. BOkazaki sequences
  3. CPalindromic Nucleotide sequences
  4. DPoly(A) tail sequences

Correct answer

C. Palindromic Nucleotide sequences

Step-by-step solution

Each restriction enzyme recognizes a specific palindromic nucleotide sequence in DNA. Palindrome in DNA is a sequence of base pairs that reads the same on the two strands when the orientation of reading is kept the same. These sequences may range from 4 - 8 nucleotides in length.
