Assertion (A): | Thermostable DNA dependent DNA polymerase is used in Polymerase Chain Reaction |
Reason (R): | Such enzymes do not require primers and can initiate DNA synthesis |
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) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
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) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
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. |
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) |
