In biology, cohesive ends refer to the single-stranded overhangs that are produced when a double-stranded DNA molecule is cut by a restriction enzyme. These cohesive ends are complementary to each other, allowing them to bind together and form a stable double-stranded DNA molecule. This process is commonly used in genetic engineering to insert foreign DNA into a plasmid or other vector, as the cohesive ends of the vector and the foreign DNA can be easily ligated together. The term "cohesive" refers to the ability of these ends to adhere to each other, creating a cohesive bond that holds the DNA together
