A specific recognition sequence identified by endonucleases to make cuts at specific positions within the DNA is:

  1. A
    Palindromic Nucleotide sequences
  2. B
    Poly(A) tail sequences
  3. C
    Degenerate primer sequence
  4. D
    Okazaki sequences

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Restriction endonucleases recognize specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in the DNA (sequences that read the same on the two strands when orientation is kept the same, e.g., 5

-GAATTC- 3

and 3

-CTTAAG- 5

for EcoRI).
