Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A restriction map is a diagram of a DNA molecule that shows the specific cleavage sites of endonucleases, which are enzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences. It is used to determine the size and order of DNA fragments produced by cutting DNA with one or more restriction enzymes.
