Q151 / 200 · NEET 2024 · Zoology

Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point called recognition sequence and it consists of:

  • Correct answer
    A
    6 bp
  • B
    4 bp
  • C
    10 bp
  • D
    8 bp

Solution

The correct answer is option (1). The first restriction endonuclease - Hind II, whose functioning depends on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was isolated. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognising sequence of six base pairs. Option (2), (3) and (4) are incorrect because they have either more than 6 or less than 6 bp.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
