So both 5'CCGG or 3'GGCC would have been acceptable in this scenario.
meningitisYes, correct. The 5'GGCC option could cause some confusion.+2019-05-28T03:09:29Z

questions says you've created a new cut site,
1. look at the region on the sick vs healthy. The C to G is the change
2. Write out the sick "CCGG" from 5'3'- you could write out the whole thing, but the answer only has 4 letters, so being lazy here
3. write under it, its complement, the dna base pair. So "GGCC"
4. remember both strands are going in opposite directions when you write them out on top of each other.
5. So the bottom strand actually reads 5' CCGG 3' so that is the answer
I hope that clears it up +52019-06-26T04:07:52Z

Most restriction enzymes bind palindromes.
So both 5'CCGG or 3'GGCC would have been acceptable in this scenario.
