Hind II always cuts DNA molecules at a particular point called recognition sequence and it consists of:

Question

According to Chargaff's Rule, in a DNA molecule, the amount of adenine (A) is always equal to the amount of ______.

Answer 1

Hind II, an endonuclease, functions as a restriction enzyme. This type of enzyme fragments DNA at designated recognition sequences, which are unique nucleotide series. Each restriction enzyme possesses a distinct recognition sequence.

The recognition sequence for Hind II is comprised of 6 base pairs (bp). Restriction enzymes like Hind II are vital tools in genetic engineering and molecular biology, facilitating precise DNA fragmentation for applications such as cloning, gene splicing, and DNA analysis.

Base Pairs	Function
6 bp	Recognition sequence for Hind II

Consequently, Hind II is classified as a "6-cutter" due to its ability to identify and cleave DNA strands containing its specific 6-base pair sequence.
Therefore, the correct designation is 6 bp.
