Question : An interesting property of restriction enzymes is molecular cutting and pasting. Restriction enzymes typically recognize a symmetrical sequence of DNA. Notice that the top strand is the same as the bottom strand, but reads backward. When the enzyme cuts the strand between G and A, it leaves overhanging chains: A. What is this symmetrical sequence of DNA known as? B. What is the significance of these overhanging chains? C. Name the restriction enzyme that cuts the strand between G and A.
