What do restriction endonucleases do? what do restriction endonucleases do? they cut dna at specific sites, known as recognition sites, to produce dna fragments useful for cloning. they cut rna at specific sites, known as recognition sites, to produce rna fragments useful for cloning. they catalyze the synthesis of dna from an rna template. they connect sticky ends of dna fragments useful for cloning?

Answer 1

Restriction endonucleases cut DNA at specific sites, known as recognition sites, to produces DNA fragments useful for cloning. Restriction enzymes or restriction endonucleases are DNA cutting enzymes found in bacteria. Each restriction enzyme recognizes one or a few restriction sites. When it finds its target sequence, it makes a double stranded cut in the DNA molecule.
