Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restriction enzymes recognize and cut DNA molecules at specific sites, usually where a specific sequence of nucleotides is present. This specificity allows them to be useful tools in genetic engineering and DNA analysis. They do not cut randomly or target single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules.
