Each restriction enzyme has a specific sequence of nucleotides where it cuts the DNA. These sequences of DNA are unique to each restriction enzyme and are known as:
A
Restriction Sites.
B
Restriction Signals.
C
Restriction Sequences.
D
Restriction Sticky Ends.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that restriction enzymes are proteins used to cut DNA at specific sequences.
Recognize that each restriction enzyme has a unique sequence of nucleotides it recognizes and cuts, known as a restriction site.
Differentiate between the terms: 'Restriction Sites', 'Restriction Signals', 'Restriction Sequences', and 'Restriction Sticky Ends'.
Identify that 'Restriction Sites' are the specific sequences recognized by restriction enzymes.
Conclude that the correct term for the unique sequence where a restriction enzyme cuts is 'Restriction Sites'.
