Restriction enzymes are useful in biotechnology because they
A.cut DNA at specific palindromic sequences
B.join any two DNA fragments
C.amplify RNA
D.read DNA sequences
Explanation
Core Concept
Each restriction enzyme recognizes a short sequence and cleaves it, producing predictable fragments with sticky ends that ligate into matching vectors.
Correct Answer
Acut DNA at specific palindromic sequences
