    Which type of enzyme is used to cut the DNA in

    recombinant DNA technology?
    A Restriction Endonucleases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Lipase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Gyrase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Exonucleases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that recognize a specific DNA sequence, called a restriction site, and cleave the DNA within or adjacent to that site. They play a crucial role in genetic engineering. These are also called as Molecular Scissors.
