4. | 5'-GAATTC-3' 3'-CTTAAG-5' |
Identify the wrong statement with regards to restriction enzyme:
| 1. | They cut the strand at palindromic sites. |
| 2. | They are useful in genetic engineering. |
| 3. | Sticky ends can be joined by using DNA ligases. |
| 4. | Each restriction enzyme functions by inspecting the length of a DNA sequence. |
In-gel electrophoresis, separated DNA fragments can be visualized with the help of:
