Question

The enzymes which are commonly used in genetic engineering are

• A. Restriction endonuclease and polymerase
• B. Endonuclease and ligase
• C. Restriction endonuclease and ligase
• D. Ligase and polymerase

Answer 1

The correct option is C Restriction endonuclease and ligase

Recombinant DNA is made by combining DNA from two or sources. DNA fragments are cut out of their specific position in the chromosome using restriction enzymes (also called restriction endonuclease) and then inserted into other DNA molecules using enzymes DNA ligase.

So, option C is the correct option.
