yes they are....it depends on the presence of the restriction sites in the DNA

Do restriction enzymes cut protein molecules at specific sites?
No. restriction enzymes do not cut proteins. restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at specific sites called restriction sites.
Which of the following cuts DNA molecules at specific locations?
restriction endonuclease enzymes
What does a geneticist use to cut DNA at specific base sequences?
Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are used to cut DNA into smaller fragments. Restriction enzymes are found in bacteria, where they act like molecular scissors by cutting up DNA from invading viruses or bacteriophages. Each restriction enzyme recognizes a specific nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA at that site. This process makes restriction enzymes extremely useful in biotechnology where they are used in procedures such as DNA cloning, DNA fingerprinting, and genetic engineering. There are hundreds of known restriction enzymes, and each one was named for the bacteria from which it was isolated. For example, EcoRI was isolated from Escherichia coli and HaeIII from Haemophilus aegyptius.
What do biotechnologist used to cut DNA molecules at specific sequences?
Restriction endonucleases or enzymes
Are bacteria a source of restriction enzymes in DNA?
Restriction enzymes are made by the ribosomes in bacteria. For information on which bacteria produce which specific restriction enzymes, some can be found in a table near the bottom of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_enzymes
Do restriction enzymes cut protein molecules at specific sites?
No. restriction enzymes do not cut proteins. restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at specific sites called restriction sites.
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes

restriction endonuclease enzymes

How many restriction enzymes are typically needed to positively identify a sample of DNA?
It usually takes 10 to 12 different restriction enzymes to produce a fragment pattern. This will allow positive identification of an individual.
What enzyme do scientists use to cut genes out of strands if DNA?
restriction enzymes
Can Restriction Enzymes be used on all DNA?
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at sites called restriction sites on the DNA. These restriction sites are specific sequences of 6 - 8 nucleotide bases. Restriction enzymes can be used on all types of DNA. If the DNA is cut by a certain restriction enzyme, then we know that the DNA contained the restriction site. This sort of an experiment is called restriction site analysis

Restriction endonucleases or enzymes
What do bio technologists use to cut molecules at specific sequences?
Restriction enzymes.
What does restriction endonuclease do?
They cut DNA at specific sequences. Restriction endonucleases work by cutting DNA at specific sequences. The places that are cut are known as restriction sites.
