Question
Describe a palindrome with the help of an example.
✓
Answer
- A palindrome in DNA is a sequence of base pairs that reads the same on the two strands, when orientation of reading is kept the same.
- The palindromic sequence, which is recognised by the restriction enzyme, EcoRI is given below, along with the sites where it cuts the DNA strands.
- It is seen that the restriction enzyme cuts the two strands between the same two bases, a little away from the centre of the palindrome sequence.
