If the restriction enzymes would cut DNA at random sites instead of at specific sites, then the DNA fragments obtained will not have ‘sticky ends’. In the absence of sticky ends, construction of recombinant DNA molecule would not be possible.

Both. As biotechnology is a very wide area which deals with techniques of using a ‘natural’ organism (or its parts) as well as genetically modified organism to produce products and processes useful for mankind. A wine maker employs a strain of yeast to produce wine by fermentation (a natural phenomenon), while the molecular biologist has cloned gene for the antigen (that is used as vaccine) in an organism which allows the
production of the antigen in large amount.
The restriction enzymes that are used in construction of recombinant DNA molecule are endonucleases which cut the DNA at ‘specificrecognition sequence’. What would be the disadvantage if they would not cut the DNA at specific-recognition sequence?
