Question

Difference between cloning and restriction site

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,
Restriction site or restriction recognition site are locations on DNA molecule containing specific(4-8 base pairs in length) sequences of nucleotides, which are recognised by restriction enzymes.
Whereas cloning sites is a short segment of DNA which contains upto 20 restriction sites. Restriction sites in a cloning site are typically unique, occurring only once within a plasmid.
