Gene transfer involves some essential stages such as
(i) inserting recombinant DNA into suitable recipient organism
(ii)   isolation of a fragment of DNA
(iii)   screening of transformed cells
(iv)  integrating DNA fragment into suitable vector
The experimental sequence of these events should be
1. (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) 
2. (ii), (iv), (i), (iii)

3. (iv), (i), (ii), (iii)
4. (i), (iii), (ii), (iv).

Restriction endonucleases are bacterial enzymes that cut double stranded DNA. These restriction enzymes do not cut their own DNA because
1.  The bacterium does not contain the specific recognition sequence
2.  The DNA is packed with histones
3.  The specific recognition sequences are masked with methyl groups
4.  Restriction endonucleases cut viral DNA only

Given below are two statements one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): When a particular restriction enzyme cuts strands of DNA, overhanging stretches or sticky ends are formed.
Reason (R): Some restriction enzymes cut the strand of DNA a little away from the centre of palindromic site.
 
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is true, (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, (R) is true.
