Question

Can bacteria kill the virus?

Answer 1

Restriction Endonuclease:

1. Restriction enzymes are a certain class of enzymes that cut the DNA double helical structure at a specific location.
2. It is of two types, restriction endonuclease, and restriction exonuclease.
3. Bacteriophages are a group of viruses that are known to infect and kill bacteria.
4. Bacteria have a defense mechanism, they have a specific sequence of genes in their plasmid DNA that synthesize the restriction endonuclease enzyme.
5. These enzymes cut the phage DNA making them inert and eventually killing them.
