Detailed Explanation

The first restriction endonuclease–Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence (GAATTC) was isolated and characterised five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognising a specific sequence of six base pairs. This specific base sequence is known as the recognition sequence for Hind II.
