How are sticky ends formed on a dna strand

How are 'sticky ends' formed on a DNA strand? Why are they so called?

Answered by admin @



Sticky ends are produced by restriction enzymes. These enzymes cut the strand of DNA a little away from the centre of the palindrome sites but between the same two bases on the oppositestrands. ... These are called sticky ends because they form hydrogen bonds with their complementary cut counterparts.
