What are the "highly specific molecular scissors" that cut DNA?
A) plasmids
B) anticodons
C) codons
D) restriction enzymes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restriction enzymes are highly specific enzymes that can cut DNA at specific sequences, hence they are commonly referred to as "molecular scissors". Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently and carry genes that may be beneficial to the host organism. Anticodons and codons are related to genetic coding and protein synthesis but not specifically to the cutting of DNA.
