Which one of the following palindromic base sequences in DNA can be easily cut at about the middle by some particular restriction enzyme?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
A palindromic DNA sequence reads the same in the 5’ → 3’ direction on both strands and is commonly recognized by restriction enzymes.
EcoRI recognizes the sequence GAATTC and cuts between G and A, producing sticky ends.
Option is the correct palindromic sequence suitable for restriction enzyme action.
