Following statements describe the characteristics of the enzyme restriction endonuclease. Identify the incorrect statement.

Each restriction endonuclease recognises a specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in the DNA. Each restriction endonuclease functions by ‘inspecting’ the length of a DNA sequence. Once it finds its specific recognition sequence, it will bind to the DNA and cut each of the two strands of the double helix at specific points in their sugar -phosphate backbones.
