The restriction enzyme AluI produces blunt ends.From this we can conclude that
A) its recognition sequence is less than eight nucleotides long.
B) its recognition sequence is more than four nucleotides long.
C) it cuts once in the recognition sequence.
D) it cuts at two distinct places in the recognition sequence.
E) its recognition sequence is not a palindrome.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

AluI cuts once within its recognition sequence, which is characteristic of enzymes that produce blunt ends. This is because a single cut within the sequence does not leave overhanging ends.
