A piece of DNA, which is somehow transferred into an alien organism, most likely:
| 1. | would not be able to multiply itself in the progeny cells of the organism. |
| 2. | would be transcribed but the transcript will not be translated. |
| 3. | would express as different proteins from the organism it was derived from. |
| 4. | would be invariably destroyed by the cytosolic endonucleases in eukaryotic cells. |

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | In order to force bacteria to take up the plasmid, the bacterial cells must first be made ‘competent’ to take up DNA. |
| Reason (R): | All bacterial cells already have plasmids and will not normally pick up another. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A). |
| 2. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
| 3. | (A) is False; (R) is False |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain the (A) |

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | In order to link the alien DNA, the vector needs to have very few, preferably single, recognition sites for the commonly used restriction enzymes. |
| Reason (R): | Presence of more than one recognition sites within the vector will generate several fragments, which will complicate the gene cloning. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
| 2. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
| 3. | (A) is False; (R) is False |
