Question : Palindromic nucleotide sequences have significance in recombinant DNAtechonology. Explain. Give example for a palindromic DNA sequence .

Answer»

Solution :Palindrome in a DNA is a, sequence of base pairs that reads same on the two strands when orientation of reading is kept the same . Each restric-tion endonuclease RECOGNISES a specific palindromic nucleotide sequence and CUTS the strand of DNA a little away from the CENTRE of the palin-drome site, but between the two bases on the opposite strands.
Example of palindrome DNA is
5. - GAATTCC - 3.
3. - CTTAAG - 5.
