Recombinant DNA is achieved by cleaving the pro-­DNAs by:

Correct answer: B. Restriction endonulcease

  • A. Ligase
  • B. Restriction endonulcease
  • C. Primase
  • D. Exonucleases.

Explanation

Recombinant DNA is the product obtained after isolating a specific DNA segment and then inserting it into another DNA molecule at a desired position. Restriction endonucleases are the enzymes that digest DNA at specific sites to isolate a specific DNA segment. Thus they are required for producing recombinant DNA.
