  1. Restriction endonucleases from two different organisms that recognize the same DNA sequence for cleavage are called ​
    1. ​Isoschizomers ​
    2. Isozymes ​
    3. Concatamers ​
    4. Palindromes ​
Correct Option: A

Isoschizomers are pairs of restriction enzymes specific to the same recognition sequence. For example, Sph I (CGTAC/G) and Bbu I (CGTAC/G) are isoschizomers of each other. The first enzyme to recognize and cut a given sequence is known as the prototype, all subsequent enzymes that recognize and cut that sequence are isoschizomers. Isoschizomers are isolated from different strains of bacteria and therefore may require different reaction conditions. ​
