Q151 / 200 · NEET 2024 · Zoology
Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point called recognition sequence and it consists of:
- Correct answerA6 bp
- B4 bp
- C10 bp
- D8 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'.
