Question
Answer the following question.
Explain the significance of palindromic nucleotide sequence in the formation of recombinant DNA.
Advertisements
Solution
The palindromic sequences i.e. the sequence of base pairs read the same on both the DNA strands when the orientation of reading is kept the same, eg :
5' —— GAATTC —— 3'
3' —— CTTAAG —— 5'
- Every endonuclease inspects the entire DNA sequence for the palindromic recognition sequence.
