Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] A: Eco RI is an endonuclease enzyme isolated from strains of E.

coli, and is part of the restriction modification system.

B : Barn HI (from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) is a type II restriction endonuclease having the capacity for recognising short sequences of DNA and specifically cleaving them at a target site.

C: Hind III is a type II site-specific deoxyribonuclease restriction enzyme isolated from Haemophilus influenzae that cleaves the DNA palindromic sequence AAGCTT in the presence of the cofactor $ M{g^{2+}} $ via hydrolysis.

D: pBR 322 is a plasmid and was one of the first widely used E.

coli cloning vectors.
