Answer 1

Restriction enzymes are class of protein that recognize a specific, short nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA only at that specific site.

These enzymes recognize the DNA at specific site which is called the target site.

A) The incorrect word in the above statement is-

to seal them together.

B) The correct sentence is-
