(N/A) Palindrome nucleotide sequences in $DNA$ molecules are base pairs that read the same in both the $5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime}$ and $3^{\prime} \rightarrow 5^{\prime}$ directions. These sequences serve as recognition sites for restriction endonucleases.
Five examples of palindromic $DNA$ sequences are:
$(i)$ $5^{\prime}-GAATTC-3^{\prime}$ / $3^{\prime}-CTTAAG-5^{\prime}$
$(ii)$ $5^{\prime}-GGATCC-3^{\prime}$ / $3^{\prime}-CCTAGG-5^{\prime}$
$(iii)$ $5^{\prime}-AAGCTT-3^{\prime}$ / $3^{\prime}-TTCGAA-5^{\prime}$
$(iv)$ $5^{\prime}-ACGCGT-3^{\prime}$ / $3^{\prime}-TGCGCA-5^{\prime}$
$(v)$ $5^{\prime}-ACTAGT-3^{\prime}$ / $3^{\prime}-TGATCA-5^{\prime}$
