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

Plasmids are good cloning vectors mainly because:
 
1. they are circular
2. they replicate autonomously
3. they are extra-chromosomal DNA molecules found in many bacterial cells
4. they carry genes vital for normal survival and reproduction

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)
3. (A) is True but (R) is False
