(a) Write the palindromic nucleotide sequence for the following DNA segment:5′ - GAATTC - 3′(b) Name the restriction endonuclease that recognizes this sequence. (c) How are ‘sticky ends’ produced? Mention their role |

Answer» (a) 5' – GAATTC – 3' 3' – CTTAAG – 5' (b) EcoRI is the restriction endonuclease that recognizes this palindrome. (c) When the restriction enzyme cuts the DNA strands a little away from the center of the palindromic sequence, between the same two bases on both the strands, sticky ends are produced.
