Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect. An isoschizomer is an enzyme that recognizes the same sequence as another. A maximum number of 8-10 most common isoschizomers are indicated for every enzyme. Restriction enzymes from different organisms may recognize the same DNA sequence. If the enzymes recognize the same site and cleave at the same position, they are labeled isoschizomers. Isoschizomers are isolated from different bacterial species or strains. They are present in prokaryotes.
