Enzymes that are able to cut DNA are called rstriction enzymes. These enxymes are site specific. This means the cuts they produce are not ramdom events. They cut the DNA strand only when a particular sequence is encountered. This sequence on the DNA is called the restriction site. Restriction sites vary in length from 6 - 8 or more nucleotides. This evidence indiates restriction enzymes cut DNA at a unique site

Does a restriction enzyme generate the same size fragments in genomic DNA of different species?

No. A restriction enzyme cuts DNA when it finds a specific sequence. Different animals will have these sequences occur at different intervals so the length of the fragments won't be the same.

Why is DNA fingerprinting more accurate if the samples are cut with more than one restriction enzyme?

When EcoR1 cuts this DNA, it cuts it at three places into four different segments. EcoR1 is only one of many different restriction enzymes. Each different enzyme cuts DNA at a different site. By using different enzymes, a scientist can cut DNA into many smaller pieces that can be run out on a gel during electrophoresis. Remember that in gel electrophoresis, DNA fragments separate by size. Because these segments have different sizes, they will separate onto a gel at different rates. If different people's DNA is cut by restriction enzymes and then run out on a gel, each person's DNA will leave a different pattern.

Can you get sports bras in different cuts?

There are not necessarily different cuts of sports bras. However, some have underwire or different thickness in the straps.
