Do eukaryotic cells have restriction endonucleases? Justify your answer.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

No, eukaryotic cells do not have restriction endonuclease because $DNA$ molecules of eukaryotes are heavily methylated by an enzyme methylase. Methylation protects the $DNA$ from the activity of restriction enzymes. All the restriction endonucleases have been isolated from various strains of bacteria or prokaryotic cells.
