5'__ GAATTC_ 3'

3' __ CTTAAG__5'

1. Deletion mutation

2. Start codon at the 5' end

3. Palindromic sequence of base pairs

1. Coelom                         

2. Coenzyme

3. coli                               

4. Colon

Which one of the following palindromic base sequences in DNA can be easily cut at about

the middle by some particular restriction enzyme?

1. 5'$-$CGTTCG$-$3'

     3'$-$ATGGTA$-$-5'

2. 5'$-$GATATG$-$3'

     3'$-$CTACTA$-$5'

3. 5'$-$GAATTC$-$3'

     3'$-$CTTAAG$-$5'

4. 5'$-$CACGTA$-$3'

     3'$-$CTCAGT$-$5'

Restriction endonucleases are enzymes which

1. make cuts at specific positions within the DNA molecule

2. recognize a specific nucleotide sequence for binding of DNA ligase

3. restrict the action of the enzyme DNA polymerase

4. remove nucleotides from the ends of the DNA molecule
