NEET Zoology Recombinant DNA MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about recombinant DNA technology is correct?
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific recognition sequences, allowing for the insertion of foreign DNA.
Recombinant DNA technology does not involve the use of plasmids or viral vectors.
Endonucleases remove nucleotides from the ends of the DNA strands during the cloning process.
The process of recombinant DNA technology does not require purification of the gene product.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Restriction enzymes, which are a type of endonuclease, recognize specific palindromic sequences and cut the DNA at precise locations, facilitating the insertion of foreign DNA into a host organism as part of recombinant DNA technology.
