Restriction endonucleases present in bacterial cells provide an advantage to the cell because these enzymes:

1. can identify the mutated sequences on the chromosomal DNA and help in their repair
2. selectively bind to particular nucleotide sequences that may appear in viral DNA preventing its replication in the cell
3. can cut the plasmid DNA of the bacterial cell that allows them to recombine foreign DNA into their plasmid DNA
4. help the bacterium take up foreign DNA from their environment and combine it into their genome
