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):  Agar gel electrophoresis is employed to check the progression of a restriction enzyme digestion.
Reason (R):  Restriction enzyme digestion is performed by incubating purified DNA molecules with the restriction enzymes, at the optimal conditions for that specific enzyme.
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 but (R) does not explain (A).
3.  (A) is True but (R) is False.
4.  Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A).

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.
4. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).

Elution is:

1.  separating the restricted DNA fragments on agarose gel
2.  staining the separated DNA fragments with ethidium bromide
3.  cutting out of the separated bands of DNA from the agarose gel and extracting them from the gel piece
4.  constructing rDNA by joining the purified DNA fragments to the cloning vector

A cloning vector has two antibiotic resistance genes: tetracycline and ampicillin. A foreign DNA was inserted into the tetracycline gene. Non-recombinant transformants would survive on the medium containing:
1. ampicillin but not tetracycline
2. tetracycline but not ampicillin
3. both tetracycline and ampicillin
4. neither tetracycline nor ampicillin
