Restriction endonucleases are bacterial enzymes that cut double stranded DNA. These restriction enzymes do not cut their own DNA because
| 1. | The bacterium does not contain the specific recognition sequence |
| 2. | The DNA is packed with histones |
| 3. | The specific recognition sequences are masked with methyl groups |
| 4. | Restriction endonucleases cut viral DNA only |
