Enzymes are smaller than the DNA they process in molecular size. This is because the DNA is a very long string of parts, whereas the enzyme is a single piece.

What do biotechnology use to cut DNA molecules at specific sequences?
The cutting of DNA at specific location became possible with the discovery of the so-called 'molecular scissors' i.e. restriction enzymes.
Enzymes used to cut DNA molecules in recombinant DNA researsh are?
restriction enzymes
Which pair of enzymes is necessary to make recombinant DNA?
Actually the answer would be Restriction enzyme and DNA ligase.
What enzymes build DNA?
DNA Polymerase
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes
Whether enzyme is bigger or DNA is bigger in molecular size and how do we conclude that?
enzyme is nothing but the protein which is formed from DNA by translation through transcription of a particular region of the DNA . so obviously the DNA is larger than the enzyme in molecular size.
When is DNA cut during electrophoresis?
Electrophoresis technique is not designed to cut DNA molecule. When DNA is analyzed by electrophoresis to determine its molecular mass, the molecular biology engineer usualy digests the DNA molecule, before the electrophoresis, with specific enzymes called "restriction enzymes" in order to obtain fragments of diverse molecular weights that can be seen as bands in electrophoresis gels.
The highly specific molecular scissors that cut DNA are called?
The way this is worded the bacterial enzymes is not correct. Proteins that cut DNA segments into shorter pieces are called restriction enzymes.
What do biotechnology use to cut DNA molecules at specific sequences?
The cutting of DNA at specific location became possible with the discovery of the so-called 'molecular scissors' i.e. restriction enzymes.
What cuts DNA into fragments?
cutting of DNA into fragments simply means application of suitable restriction enzyme to it.now a days two types of restriction enzymes are available,1)exonucleases,which cut at end portion of DNA and 2)endonucleases ,which cut at specific inner site.
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.
