Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

In recombinant $DNA$ technology the fragment of desired $DNA$ is either joined with vector or by cutting copies are prepared. For that cutting of vector and desired $DNA$ is essential. Endonuclease does cutting in such a way that sticky ends are produced inside $DNA$. While Exonuclease remove end terminals and produce blunt ends but sticky ends are necessary to connect a piece of desired $DNA$ with vector. Therefore endonuclease is more proper enzyme than exonuclease.
