Question
What is Recognition sequence? Explain in brief.
✓
Answer
- The sequences recognized by restriction enzymes are 4 to 8 nucleotides long and characterized by a particular type of internal symmetry is known as recognition sequence.
- When the sequence is read in opposite direction (3’ to 5’ or 5’ to 3’) it is identical/ same. For e.g. consider the particular sequence recognized by the enzyme EcoRI. 3’ -______ CTTAAG______ 5’ 5’______ GAATTC ______ 3’
- Restriction enzymes either cut straight across the DNA in the region of palindrome to give blunt ends or cuts producing short, single stranded projections at each end of DNA to produce, cohesive or sticky ends or staggered ends.

In peas, tallness is dominant over dwarfness, and red colour of flowers is dominant over the white colour. When a tall plant bearing red flowers was pollinated with a dwarf plant bearing white flowers, the different phenotypic groups were obtained in the progeny in numbers mentioned against them:
Tall, Red = 138
Tall, White = 132
Dwarf, Red = 136
Dwarf, White = 128
Mention the genotypes of the two parents and of the four offspring types.
