उत्तर
| Sr. No. | Exonuclease | Endonuclease |
| 1. | It is a type of restriction enzyme that removes the nucleotide from the 5' or 3' ends of the DNA molecule. | It is a type of restriction enzyme that makes a cut within the DNA at a specific site to generate sticky ends. |
| 2. | They separated DNA base pairs at their terminal ends. |
They separate DNA at any location other than the terminal ends. |
| 3. | They work on single strands of DNA or gaps in double-stranded DNA. | They cut one or both strands of double-stranded DNA. |
