Because when you put a part of the DNA and take it out, you can restrict an ability of that cell. When you cut out a piece of DNA from a pancreas beta cell that codes for insulin synthesis, you restrict the cells ability to make insulin, hence the name "restriction enzyme". I hope this is the answer that you are looking for and it comes to your help.

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

A myofibril or muscle fiber under an electron microscope shows alternate light band and dark bands. These bands give the skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle a striated appearance. The light band is called the I- band or isotropic band, and the dark band is known as A- band or anisotropic band. In the center of the I-band Z-line is present. It is discovered from a German term Zwischenscheibe (between the disc). The portion of myofibril between one Z-line to the next Z-line is called sarcomere.
