Answer #1

Answer.

64

The longer the length of restriction site, longer will be the length of cut DNA base pairs because longer restriction site will be less frequent in the DNA. If the length of restriction site is small then occurence of this site will be more frequent in the DNA by chance then the cut DNA base pairs would be small.

Formula is 4N and N is the number of nucleotides in restriction site

So, according to formula a restriction enzyme binds 3 nucleotides will be cut DNA with length of 43 =64 base pairs.

I hope this will help you if you like it then give me a thumbs up, thank you!
