    The nuclease enzyme, which begins its attack from free end of a polynucleotide, is?

    A)  Exonuclease   

    B)  Kinase

    C)  Polymerase    

    D)  Endonuclease

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Exonuclease enzyme activity means cleavage of nucleotides only at the end i.e., exonuclease enzyme digests nucleic acids beginning at a terminal nucleotide. . Endonuclease is an enzyme, which induces internal cuts or cleavages in a DNA molecule. Kinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates (adds a phosphate group to) a substrate, e.g., a protein kinase phosphorylates amino acids of another protein. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a method of amplifying or copying DNA fragments that is faster than cloning. The fragments are combined with DNA polymerase, nucleotides and other components to form a mixture in which the DNA is cyclically amplified.
