If a DNA sample has methylation what complication can occur in restriction analysis?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Some sites may not cut

Direct answer: A, some sites may not cut. Restriction analysis depends on an enzyme cutting every accessible copy of its specific recognition sequence. Methylation changes the chemical pattern of DNA and can block recognition or cleavage by a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme. Step by step: the enzyme is added, it searches for its target sequence, a methylated target is encountered, cleavage may fail, and the DNA fragments produced differ from the expected fragments. On a gel, this can give different band sizes or numbers, so interpretation becomes complicated. Option A is correct. Option B is impossible because DNA does not become sugar. Option C is wrong because ordinary methylation does not make the gel melt. Option D is wrong because an enzyme remains a protein catalyst and does not become a vitamin. Exam cue: unexpected restriction bands may result from methylation as well as from sequence changes.
