Restriction enzymes

  • A

    Unwind double-stranded DNA at specific origins, exposing single strands for replication

  • B

    Join DNA fragments at compatible ends using ATP-dependent ligase enzyme activity

  • C

    Cut DNA at specific recognition sequences (often palindromic), producing fragments with sticky ends

  • D

    Synthesize DNA from RNA templates using reverse transcriptase activity in vitro

Explanation

Bacterial enzymes used in cloning. Sticky-ended fragments can be ligated to other DNA cut with the same enzyme.
