The number of correct statements regarding cloning vectors amongst the given statements is:
I.  Bacteriophages because of their high number per cell, have very high copy numbers of their genome within the bacterial cells.
II.  If one wants to recover many copies of the target DNA, it should be cloned in a vector whose origin supports high copy number.
III.  A selectable marker helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permits the growth of the transformants.
IV.  Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens has now been modified into a cloning vector which is no more pathogenic to the plants but is still able to use mechanisms to deliver genes of our interest into a variety of plants.
V.  Retroviruses in animals have the ability to transform normal cells into cancerous cells and hence can never be used as a cloning vector in rDNA procedures.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
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.
 In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
2. (A) is true but (R) is false.
3. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Identify the correct statement:
1.  DNA is the genetic material of all organisms without exception.
2.  As it is an RNA world, the genetic material is ds RNA in majority of the organisms.
3.  Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules.
4.  Proteins such as histones can be removed from the cell lysate with the help of ribonuclease.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):  It is possible to select a bacterial cell transformed with a recombinant DNA bearing gene for an antibiotic resistance if the transformed cells are spread on agar plates containing the antibiotic.
Reason (R):  Due to insertional inactivation of the gene for antibiotic resistance gene, only the untransformed bacterial cells will grow and the transformed bacterial cells will die.
 In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are false.
2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
