The specific palindromic sequence which is recognized by EcoRl is
  1. 5' - GGAACC - 3'
    3' - CCTTGG - 5'
  2. 5' - CTTAAG - 3'
    3' - GAATTC - 5'
  3. 5' - GGATCC - 3'
    3' - CCTAGG - 5'
  4. 5' - GAATTC - 3'
    3' - CTTAAG - 5'

Solution

Palindrome in DNA is a sequence of base pairs that reads the same on the two strands when the orientation of reading is kept the same. These sequences may range from 4-8 nucleotides in length. For example, the restriction site for EcoRI is between G and A residues in the palindromic sequence given below.

          ↓5'- GAATTC -3'3'- CTTAAG -5'                     ↑
