Consider the following two statements: 
I:  Plasmid can be used as a vector in recombinant DNA technology experiments.
II:  Plasmid is an extrachromosomal, circular, double-stranded DNA found in some bacteria.
 
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): Thermostable DNA dependent DNA polymerase is used in Polymerase Chain Reaction
Reason (R): Such enzymes do not require primers and can initiate DNA synthesis

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.

In a continuous culture system:
 
I: The used medium is drained out from one side while the fresh medium is added from the other.
II: The cells are maintained in their physiologically most active log/exponential phase.
III: A larger biomass is produced leading to higher yields of desired proteins.

A plasmid contains two genes for resistance to separate antibiotics. One of the two is insertionally inactivated due to insertion of alien DNA. 
I: The gene that was not inactivated helps in selecting the transformants.
II: The gene that was insertionally inactivated helps in selection of recombinants.
 
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
