Which of these substances is used in recombinant DNA technology to cut DNA at specific locations in the nucleotide sequence?
A) mRNA
B) Codon
C) Ribosome
D) Restriction enzyme
E) Lysozyme

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restriction enzymes are used in recombinant DNA technology to cut DNA at specific locations in the nucleotide sequence. This allows scientists to manipulate and recombine genetic material from different sources to create recombinant DNA. mRNA, codons, and ribosomes are all involved in protein synthesis, not DNA manipulation. Lysozyme is an enzyme used to break down bacterial cell walls, but is not involved in recombinant DNA technology.
