Solution

The correct option is B Isoschizomers
Neoschizomers are restriction enzymes that recognize the same DNA sequence but cut at different locations within the restriction sites
Examples are SmaⅠ and XmaⅠ
Recognization sequence for XmaⅠ

Recognition sequence for SmaⅠ

Isoschizomers are restriction enzymes that recognize the same DNA sequence and cut at the same location within the restriction site
Examples Sph Ⅰ and Bbu Ⅰ

Isocaudomers are restriction enzymes that recognize the different DNA sequences but produce the same ends
Examples are BamHⅠ and Sau3AⅠ

Recognition sequence for BamHⅠ
Recognition sequence for Sau3AⅠ
