The pieces of DNA produced by restriction endonucleases are termed:
A
introns
B
restriction fragments
C
Okazaki fragments
D
exons
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of restriction endonucleases: these are enzymes that cut DNA at specific sequences, producing smaller pieces of DNA.
Recall the terminology related to DNA fragments: 'introns' and 'exons' refer to parts of genes involved in RNA processing, not DNA fragments produced by cutting.
Recognize that 'Okazaki fragments' are short DNA pieces synthesized during DNA replication on the lagging strand, unrelated to restriction enzyme activity.
Identify that the correct term for DNA pieces produced by restriction endonucleases is 'restriction fragments'.
Therefore, the pieces of DNA produced by restriction endonucleases are called restriction fragments.
