Question

Prokaryotic restriction endonucleases are effective at destroying a virus whose genome consists of
A) ds DNA.
B) ssDNA.
C) dsRNA.
D) ssRNA.

Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic restriction endonucleases are effective at destroying a virus whose genome consists of dsDNA because they recognize specific sequences in dsDNA and cleave it. They do not recognize ssDNA or RNA, so options B, C, and D can be ruled out.
