Following statements describe the characteristics of the enzyme Restriction Endonuclease. Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | The enzyme recognizes a specific palindromic nucleotide sequence in the DNA |
| 2. | The enzyme cuts DNA molecules at an identified position within the DNA |
| 3. | The enzyme binds DNA at specific sites and cuts only one of the two strands |
