In the following palindromic base sequences of DNA, which one can be cut easily by particular restriction enzyme?
A
5' G TATTC 3'; 3' CATAAG 5'
B
5'GATACT 
C
5' GAATTC 
D
5' CTCAGT 3 '; 3 ' GAGTCA 5 '
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
A palindromic sequence is defined as a nucleotide sequence in a double-stranded DNA or RNA, when we read it from 5' end to 
end is the same as that on the complementary strand reading from 
end to 
end. Each restriction endonuclease recognises a specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in the DNA.
