The process which is the breaking down of macromolecules is called Hydrolysis (the breaking of a bond in a molecule using water) This means that polymers are broken down into monomers. This literally means ‘Split water’ and a reaction between an ion and the water molecule is used during used during the breakdown.

Answer:
D. The two students who have two fragments have one restriction site in this region.
Explanation:
The DNA samples from the cheek cells were subjected to digestion with a restriction enzyme. This enzyme is an endonuclease and cuts the DNA at a specific sequence only. This sequence is called a restriction site. If the restriction site is not present in the sample DNA, the restriction enzyme cannot cut it. The presence of one restriction site in the sample DNA would cut it into two DNA fragments.
Similarly, the presence of two restriction sites in each DNA molecule would obtain a total of three DNA fragments per DNA molecule.
