to place a gene into a vector you need to cut the vector and the dna to have the same \sticky ends\. what performs these cuts?
o microscopic scalpels
o digestive enzymes
o enzymes from peroxisomes
o restriction enzymes

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are used in molecular biology to cut DNA at specific recognition sites. This allows for the creation of "sticky ends" (overhanging DNA sequences) which are essential for inserting a gene into a vector (such as a plasmid) during recombinant DNA technology. Digestive enzymes (e.g., in the gut) break down food. Enzymes from peroxisomes (like catalase) deal with hydrogen - peroxide metabolism. "Microscopic scalpels" is a non - scientific term for this context.

Answer:

Restriction enzymes
