In a cell, the separation of DNA strands is brought about by the enzyme DNA helicase, whereas in PCR, the separation of DNA strands is due to :
1. High temperature
2. Two sets of Primers
3. Taq DNA polymerase
4. Deoxynucleotides

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 |
