  3. Option C:

    4 bp

  4. Option D:

    10 bp

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

The first restriction endonuclease - Hind II, whose functioning

depends on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was isolated. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA

molecules at a particular point by recognising sequence of six base pairs.

Option (1), (3) and (4) are incorrect because they have either more than 6 or less than 6 bp .
