उत्तर

Exonuclease

Explanation:

The enzyme that catalyzes the removal of nucleotides from the ends of DNA is exonuclease. Exonuclease specifically removes nucleotides one by one from the ends of a DNA strand, whereas endonucleases cut DNA at internal sites. DNA ligase joins DNA fragments but does not remove nucleotides. Hind II is a type of restriction endonuclease that cuts DNA at specific internal sequences, not at the ends.
