MCQ
Enzymes necessary for recombinant DNA technology are:
  • A
    Endonucleases and polymerases
  • B
    Restriction endonucleases and ligases
  • C
    Peptidases and ligases
  • D
    Restriction endonucleases and topoisomerases

Answer

  1. Restriction endonucleases and ligases

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA technology is the method of joining two or more DNA molecules to create a hybrid. This technology is made possible by two types of enzymes, restriction endonucleases and ligase. A restriction endonuclease recognizes a specific sequence of DNA and cuts within, or close to, that sequence. DNA fragments generated by digestion with a restriction endonuclease can be joined together again by the enzyme ligase.
