a.

The molecules which are cut by the same enzyme, anneal only if the sequence is palindromic in nature

b.

When the molecules are cleaved by the same enzyme and the recognition sequence is palindromic in nature, there is no effect on annealing

c.

There are increased chances of annealing if the recognition sequence is palindromic in nature

d.

The term ‘palindromic’ can be used whether the sequence is read from 5’ to 3’ or 3’ to 5’

Answer: (c).There are increased chances of annealing if the recognition sequence is palindromic in nature
