Which part of the cell can restriction enzymes be found?
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Cell membrane
Bacteria
Answer
The answer is bacteria. Restriction enzymes are found within bacteria, where they act as a defense mechanism against foreign DNA, such as that from viruses. When foreign DNA enters the bacteria, these enzymes recognize and cut the DNA at specific palindromic sequences, effectively destroying it and protecting the bacteria from potential harm.
