Resposta

They recognize specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in double-stranded DNA and cleave phosphodiester bonds, generating sticky or blunt ends.

Explicação

Also known as molecular scissors, restriction enzymes allow target genes to be ligated into cloning vectors like plasmids (e.g., pBR322).
