Vedclass · Answer

(C) The enzymes that cleave phosphodiester bonds in a polynucleotide chain are called nucleases.Nucleases are classified into two types based on their site of action:$1$. Exonucleases: These enzymes remove nucleotides from the ends (either $5'$ or $3'$) of the $DNA$ molecule.$2$. Endonucleases: These enzymes make cuts at specific positions within the $DNA$ molecule,i.e.,they cleave internal phosphodiester bonds.Therefore,the correct answer is $C$ (Endonuclease).
