Identify the wrong statement with regard to Restriction Enzymes.

  1. A
    Each restriction enzyme functions by inspecting the length of a DNA sequence.
  2. B
    They cut the strand of DNA at palindromic sites.
  3. C
    They are useful in genetic engineering.
  4. D
    Sticky ends can be joined by using DNA ligases.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Statements (A), (B), and (C) are correct descriptions of the function and utility of Restriction Enzymes.
Statement (D) is a factually correct statement about DNA Ligase, but it is not a function of Restriction Enzymes themselves. In the context of "wrong statement with regard to Restriction Enzymes," this option is usually selected as it defines a different enzyme's role.
