Solution

The correct answer is (Choice B) DNA target sequences are recognized and cut by restriction enzymes. This is a fundamental step in the process of DNA cloning. Restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA at specific sequences, allowing for the insertion of the desired gene or DNA sequence. The other statements are not accurate descriptions of the process of DNA cloning.
