A _____________ is a Sequence-Specific Recognition Protein with Endonuclease Activity

Question

A _____________ is a sequence-specific recognition protein with endonuclease activity.
A)DNA helicase
B)terminal transferase
C)restriction endonuclease
D)DNA ligase

Accepted Answer

Restriction endonucleases are proteins that recognize and cleave specific DNA sequences. They are commonly used in molecular biology to cut DNA at precise locations for various applications. DNA helicase unwinds double-stranded DNA, terminal transferase adds nucleotides to the ends of DNA strands, and DNA ligase joins two DNA strands together.
