Question

A certain purified DNA was cut with two restriction endonucleases E1 and E2. The results were obtained from agarose gel electrophoresis

Sample cut with E1 alone: two bands of size 35 kb and 15 kb

Sample cut with E2 alone: two bands of size 40 kb and 10 kb

Sample cut with E1 and E2 simultaneously: three bands of size 35 kb, 10kb and 5 kb

From this data it can be inferred that the DNA has
