What is incorrect regarding DNA replication?
 
1. For a cell to divide, it must first replicate its DNA.
2. DNA replication is an all-or-none process; once replication begins, it proceeds to completion.
3. DNA replication (DNA amplification) cannot be performed in vitro (artificially, outside a cell).
4. Once replication is complete, it does not occur again in the same cell cycle.

B Cellulase Q Plant cell
C Chitinase R Bacterial cell
Codes:
A B C
1. P Q R
2. P R Q
3. R P Q

Consider the two statements:
I: Agar Gel electrophoresis is useful in analysis of DNA.
II: DNA is generally positively charged due to its nitrogenous bases so an electrical field forces it to move toward a negative pole.
 
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Consider the given two statements:
I. It is beneficial to have a multiple cloning site (MCS) within the lac Z gene.
II. When foreign DNA interrupts the lac Z gene, no b-galactosidase can be formed, and X-Gal remains colourless which allows the researcher to distinguish between recombinant and unrecombinant vectors.
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect

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 the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

Assertion (A): When constructing rDNA, the vector DNA should never be cut by the same restriction endonuclease  that was used to cut the donor DNA
Reason (R): Use of same restriction endonuclease will generate same kind of sticky ends retarding the function of DNA ligase.
