Answer

  1. Molecular knives for cutting DNA at specific sites

Explanation:

Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that cleave the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA. In most practical settings, a given enzyme cuts both strands of duplex DNA within a stretch of just a few bases. Several thousand different restriction endonucleases have been isolated, which collectively exhibit a few hundred different sequence (substrate) specificities.
