NEET 2024, Biology Q13: Recombinant DNA Technology

NEET2024Biology
Q.

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

  1. A

    4 bp

  2. B

    10 bp

  3. C

    8 bp

  4. D

    6 bp

Solution

HindII recognises a specific palindromic sequence that is 6 base pairs long (GTYRAC) and cuts at a defined position within it. Most commonly used restriction enzymes recognise 4–8 bp palindromes; for HindII the answer is 6 bp.
