What does “Restriction enzymes” actually mean in Biotechnology & its Applications, and why does it matter for NEET?

molecular scissors that cut DNA only at specific palindromic recognition sequences.

In simple words: molecular scissors that cut DNA only at specific palindromic recognition sequences. Getting Restriction enzymes clear matters because NEET questions on Biotechnology & its Applications usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Key point

Restriction enzymes

Common mistake

thinking restriction enzymes cut DNA at random points.

Memory tip

each restriction enzyme recognises one specific sequence and cuts only there.
