In Research, Restriction Enzymes are Used To

Question

In research, restriction enzymes are used to
A)stop replication of DNA at a specific base during DNA sequencing.
B)cut DNA molecules into pieces that can be used to create recombinant DNA.
C)measure the relative amounts of each base in a DNA molecule.
D)join two fragments of DNA together to form a molecule of recombinant DNA.

Accepted Answer

Restriction enzymes are enzymes that cleave DNA at specific recognition sequences. They can be used to cut DNA molecules into pieces that can then be used to create recombinant DNA. This is a common technique used in genetic engineering and molecular biology research. Options A, C, and D are not accurate descriptions of the use of restriction enzymes in research.
