Question

Palindromic sequences in DNA

• A. form "blunt" ends when cut by restriction enzymes
• B. reflect the same sequence on two sides.
• C. are not useful in recombinant DNA experiments.
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

reflect the same sequence on two sides.

A palindromic sequence is a sequence made up of nucleic acids within double helix of DNA and/or RNA that is the same when read from 5’ to 3’ on one strand and 3’ to 5’ on the other, complementary, strand.
