Restriction enzymes are best described as:
AEnzymes that join DNA fragments together
BEnzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences
CEnzymes that replicate DNA in the cell
DEnzymes that unwind DNA helices
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences
Restriction endonucleases cut DNA at specific sequences (restriction sites, often 4-8 bp palindromes). Joining is done by DNA ligase. Replication by DNA polymerase. Unwinding by helicase.
