Answer 1

Answer #1

(a) Double stranded DNA

Explanation-Restriction enzymes recognize and bind to specific sequences or palindromic sequences of DNA called restriction sites.

e.g. EcoRI cuts at G/AATTC

(b) Double stranded RNA

Explanation- Dicer cleaves double stranded RNA. It is a member of ribonuclease III family (RNaase). Dicer cuts double stranded RNA into small interfering RNA (siRNA) which degrades the mRNA. This process of gene silencing is termed as RNA interference.
