In genetics, what are palindromes?
A) the types of DNA sequences that are cut out by restriction enzymes
B) the A-T complementary bases of DNA
C) the C-G complementary bases of DNA
D) the A-U base pairing between DNA and mRNA

Palindromes in genetics refer to specific DNA sequences that are cut out by restriction enzymes. These sequences read the same forward and backward, like a palindrome word, and are recognized and cleaved by restriction enzymes.
