Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which enzyme is commonly used to cut DNA at specific sequences in recombinant DNA technology?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is made up of sequences of nucleotides.
  • Step 2: Learn that scientists often need to cut DNA to study it or to combine it with other DNA.
  • Step 3: Know that there are special proteins called enzymes that can cut DNA.
  • Step 4: Identify that the specific type of enzyme used for cutting DNA at precise locations is called a restriction endonuclease.
  • Step 5: Recognize that these enzymes are crucial for techniques in recombinant DNA technology, which involves combining DNA from different sources.
