Answer:

Endonucleases

Explanation:

<em>Endonucleases are involved in DNA repair. The repair can be a base-excision repair, nucleotide excision repair or mismatch repair.</em>

Endonucleases are of different types and the type that will involve in DNA repaid depends on the type of repair that is required. It include deoxyribonuclease I and restriction endonuclease/restriction enzymes. The former cleaves DNA without taking note of the nucleotide sequence while the later is specific in the sequence of nucleotides it cuts.
