What determines how DNA will be cut by a restriction enzyme?
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sites called restriction sites. These restriction sites are typically 6 - 8 nucleotides in length and have a defined set of nucleotide bases. For example, the restriction enzyme Eco R1 cuts at the site: AGGTTC. Therefore, if the target DNA contains the above sequence, Eco R1 is able to cut it within the restriction site. Hence, by looking into the target site and which restriction enzymes are being used, on can make an accurate estimate of where the target DNA will be cut
What do biologists use to cut DNA into smaller fragments?
A restriction enzyme (or restriction endonuclease) is an enzyme that cuts double-stranded or single stranded DNA at specific recognition nucleotide sequences called restriction sites.
What enzyme connects the new nucleotide together and proofreads them?

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.
