If a researcher wishes to clone a gene using typical restriction endonucleases, how does the restriction endonuclease recognize genes in the genome?

What will be an ideal response?


Restriction endonucleases do not recognize functional regions in the genome (genes). They can recognize only relatively short DNA sequences, which have no relationship to functionality.
