a10 bp
b8 bp
c4 bp
d6 bp
✓ Correct answer: d) 6 bp
ExplanationHind II was the first restriction endonuclease discovered that cuts DNA at a specific site — known as a recognition sequence.This recognition sequence is 6 base pairs (bp) long and is palindromic, meaning the sequence reads the same on both strands in the 5′ → 3′ direction.Hind II recognizes a specific 6-bp sequence and cuts DNA within this site, producing blunt ends.
