Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Restriction endonucleases recognise specific sequence to cut DNA known as palindromic nucleotide sequence.
Statement II: Restriction endonucleases cut the DNA strand a little away from the centre of the palindromic site.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The DNA contains a unique palindromic nucleotide sequence that each restriction endonuclease can recognize. It will bind to the DNA and cut the double helix's two strands at particular locations. The DNA strand is cut by restriction enzymes between the same two bases on the opposing strands, but just outside of the palindrome location. As a result, statement I and 11 are both true.
