Question

What is the difference between a blunt end and a sticky end?

Answer 1

1. The end portion (of a body, a leaf, a petal, etc.) that has a dull or rounded edge is referred to as a "blunt end."
2. An end of a DNA double helix known as a sticky end is one where a few unpaired nucleotides of one strand protrude beyond the other.

Basis for comparison	Sticky ends	Blunt ends
Formation	When a restriction enzyme makes staggered cuts that aren't exactly opposite each other, it's called a staggered cut.	When a restriction enzyme cuts both DNA strands in the same spot, it creates a restriction site.
Physical characteristics	Overhangs on the ends allow the two ends to base-pair and connect with another DNA strand.	There are no overhangs or unpaired bases on the ends, which are blunt.
Also known as	Cohesive ends	Non-cohesive ends
