Question

Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point called recognition sequence and it consists of ______.

Options

• 4 bp

• 10 bp

• 8 bp

• 6 bp

Answer 1

Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point called recognition sequence and it consists of 6 bp.

Explanation:

The first restriction endonuclease to be identified that required a certain DNA nucleotide sequence to function was Hind II. It was discovered that Hind II consistently cut DNA molecules at a specific location by identifying the GTPy/PuAC sequence of six base pairs. This particular base sequence is referred to as the Hind II recognition sequence.
