Given below is a sample of portion of DNA strand giving the base sequence on the opposite strands. What is so, special shown in it?
$5^{\prime} \_$GAATTC __ $3^{\prime}$
3 - CTTAAG $5^{\prime}$
Deletion mutation
Start codon at the $5^{\prime}$ end
Palindromic sequence of base pairs
Replication completed
Solution
Palindromic DNA is a base sequence of DNA, which reads the same forward or backward. It has similar sequence in both the strands. Different types of palindromic sequences are recognised by restriction endonucleases.
