More advancement in genetic engineering is due to:
  • ✓
    Restriction endonuclease
  • B
    Reverse transcriptase
  • C
    Protease
  • D
    Zymase
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
Restriction endonuclease
The discovery of enzymes that could cut and paste $\text{DNA}$ made genetic engineering possible. Restriction enzymes are $\text{DNA}-$cutting enzymes found in bacteria and harvested from them for use. Because they cut within the molecule, they are often called restriction endonucleases. A restriction enzyme recognizes and cuts $\text{DNA}$ only at a particular sequence of nucleotides. So, restriction endonucleases are used for separation of genetic material.
