The single stranded ends produced by some restriction enzymes, which can base pair with matching ends on other DNA, are called
- A. telomeres
- B. sticky ends
- C. Okazaki fragments
- D. primers
Explanation
Staggered cuts leave short overhangs that anneal with complementary overhangs from DNA cut by the same enzyme, easing the joining of gene and vector. Enzymes that cut straight across leave blunt ends instead.
