Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | In rDNA technology non-recombinants transformed bacteria grow on the medium containing ampicillin as well as medium containing tetracycline |
Reason (R): | Recombinant plasmids contain the foreign gene of interest. |
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. | (A) is correct but (R) is not correct. |
2. | (A) is not correct but (R) is correct. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
The construction of the first recombinant DNA emerged from the possibility of linking a gene encoding antibiotic resistance with a native plasmid of which of the following organism?
1. | Escherichia coli | 2. | Bacillus thuringiensis |
3. | Salmonella typhimurium | 4. | Agrobacterium tumefaciens |
In a cell, the separation of DNA strands is brought about by the enzyme DNA helicase, whereas in PCR, the separation of DNA strands is due to :
1. High temperature
2. Two sets of Primers
3. Taq DNA polymerase
4. Deoxynucleotides

(c) | The restriction sites in vector should be in the antibiotic- resistant genes |
(d) | It should have suitable marker genes |
(e) | It should be easy to isolate and purify |
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. | (a), (c) and (e) only | 2. | (c), (d) and (e) only |
3. | (a), (b) and (c) only | 4. | (a), (c), (d) and (e) only |
