Step 1
In vitro DNA synthesis refers to the process of creating DNA molecules in a laboratory setting, typically using enzymes like DNA polymerase. Restriction endonucleases, on the other hand, are enzymes that cleave DNA at specific recognition sites. Show more…

Restriction enzymes are endonucleases produced by bacteria. These restriction enzymes: a) Typically recognise specific 4 to 8 bp sequences called restriction sites b) Cleave both strands of DNA at their specific restriction sites c) Ligate cut DNA by re-establishing phosphodiester linkages d) a, b and c above e) a and b above f) None of the above

Restriction enzymes used in most cloning experiments a. are used to cut DNA into pieces for gene cloning. b. are produced by bacteria cells to prevent viral infection. c. produce sticky ends on DNA fragments. d. All of the above are true of restriction enzymes. e. Only a and c are true of restriction enzymes.
