The specific palindromic sequence which is recognized by EcoRI is:

  1. A
    5' - GAATTC - 3' / 3' - CTTAAG - 5'
  2. B
    5' - GGAACC - 3' / 3' - CCTTGG - 5'
  3. C
    5' - CTTAAG - 3' / 3' - GAATTC - 5'
  4. D
    5' - GGATCC - 3' / 3' - CCTAGG - 5'

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

EcoRI recognizes the following palindromic sequence:
5' - GAATTC - 3'
3' - CTTAAG - 5'
It cuts the DNA between bases G and A on both strands.
