To solve this problem, we need to identify which palindromic base sequence of DNA can be easily cut by a particular restriction enzyme.Restriction enzymes typically recognize specific palindromic sequences in DNA and cut at those sites.Let's analyze each option:Option 1: 5'-GATACT-3' ; 3'-CTATGA-5' - This sequence is not a typical recognition site for common restriction enzymes.Option 2: 5'-GAATTC-3' ; 3'-CTTAAG-5' - This sequence is recognized by the restriction enzyme EcoRI, which cuts between G and A, producing sticky ends. - It is a well-known palindromic sequence that is easily cut by EcoRI.Option 3: 5'-CTCAGT-3' ; 3'-GAGTCA-5' - This sequence is not a typical recognition site for common restriction enzymes.Option 4: 5'-GTATTC-3' ; 3'-CATAAG-5' - This sequence is not a typical recognition site for common restriction enzymes.Based on the analysis, Option 2 is the correct answer as it contains the sequence recognized by EcoRI.Therefore, the correct option is Option 2.
