Restriction endonucleases typically recognize palindromic dna sequences and often generate sticky ends or single-stranded dna overhangs at cut sites - true or false?

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that cut DNA on specific sites called restriction sites. To cut DNA, restriction endonucleases have to make two incisions, once through each strand of the DNA double helix.

These enzymes are used in DNA cloning together with DNA ligases in order to insert genes or other pieces of DNA into plasmids.
