Biochemistry Question

Learning Goal: I’m working on a biochemistry question and need support to help me learn.

The table shows where different restriction endonucleases (restriction enzymes) cleave DNA. The abbreviation R represents the purines (adenine and guanine). The pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine, and uracil) are abbreviated as Y. The abbreviation W represents adenine or thymine.
