Question

Consider the following and choose the correct answer Assertion [A]: Type II restriction enzymes are preferred in recombinant DNA technology. Reason [R]: They cleave DNA at random sites far away from their recognition sequences. The correct answer is

• A. Both [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct explanation of [A]
• B. Both [A] and [R] are true and [R] is not the correct explanation of [A]
• C. [A] is true, but [R] is false
• D. [A] is false, but [R] is true

Hint:

Restriction enzymes: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Type II} &\rightarrow \text{Cuts at/near recognition site} &\rightarrow \text{Most commonly used in genetic engineering} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
