उत्तर
The DNA strand is cut by restriction enzymes between the similar two bases on the opposing strands, but just outside of the palindromic sites: The enzyme cuts both the foreign DNA and the vector DNA similarly. Only when the DNA sequence GAATTC is present does EcoRI cut the DNA between the nucleotides G and A. As a result, there are single-stranded, overhanging lengths at the end that are known to as sticky ends. Hydrogen bonds are formed between sticky ends and their complementary sliced opposites. The DNA ligase enzyme's function is made easier by the end's stickiness. Recombinant DNA was created as a result.
