Question:

Restriction endonucleases are

  1. Used in genetic engineering for uniting two DNA molecules
  2. Used for in vitro DNA synthesis
  3. Present in mammalian cells for degeneration of DNA of dead cells
  4. Used for in vitro DNA synthesis

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Bacteria synthesize restriction endonucleases. Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are enzymes that cut a DNA molecule at a particular place. These are found in bacteria (and harvested from them for use). They are essential tools for recombinant DNA technology. The enzyme "scans" a DNA molecule, looking for a particular sequence, usually of four to six nucleotides.
