WHAT DOES STICKY END MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sticky and blunt ends

DNA end or sticky end refers to the properties of the end of a molecule of DNA or a recombinant DNA molecule. The concept is important in molecular biology, especially in cloning or when subcloning inserts DNA into vector DNA. All the terms can also be used in reference to RNA. The sticky ends or cohesive ends form base pairs. Any two complementary cohesive ends can anneal, even those from two different organisms. This bondage is temporary however, and DNA ligase will eventually form a covalent bond between the sugar-phosphate residue of adjacent nucleotides to join the two molecules together.
