Q. No.A bacterial cell was transformed with a recombinant DNA molecule that was generated using a human gene. However, the transformed cells did not produce the desired protein. The reasons could be:
1.
Human genes may have intron which bacteria cannot process
2.
Amino acid codons for humans and bacteria are different
3.
Human protein is formed but degraded by bacteria
4.
All of the above

It is useful to use restriction enzymes in rDNA experiments that produce sticky ends in the resultant fragments because:
| 1. | it allows a cell to recognize fragments produced by the enzyme |
| 2. | the single-stranded ends serve as starting points for DNA replication |
| 3. | the fragments will bond to other fragments with complementary single-stranded ends |
| 4. | only single-stranded DNA segments can code for proteins |

Restriction enzymes do not act on the DNA of the host cell in which they are produced, because :
| 1. | Host DNA is packed into chromosomes |
| 2. | Restriction enzymes are ineffective on host DNA |
| 3. | Host DNA does not have the restriction site for the restriction enzymes. |
| 4. | Restriction site of host DNA is methylated. |

Look at the given hypothetical vector-
Suppose we cut the desired gene as well as the plasmid with the help of the Restriction enzyme EcoR I and ligate them. What would be true?
| 1. | Kanamycin resistance will select the transformants from non-transformants while tetracycline resistance will select recombinant transformants from non-recombinant transformants. |
| 2. | Tetracyclin resistance will select the transformants from non-transformants while kanamycin resistance will select recombinant transformants from non-recombinant transformants. |
| 3. | Both will select only transformants. |
| 4. | Both will select only recombinants. |

A piece of DNA is inserted within the gene of beta-galactosidase in the E.coli plasmid. X-gal is added to the medium during screening. The colonies of recombinant transformants:
| 1. | will show an increase in growth |
| 2. | will not be able to survive |
| 3. | will give a deep blue color |
| 4. | will not produce any color |

The significance of the 'heat shock' method in bacterial transformation is to facilitate:
| 1. | Binding of DNA to the cell wall |
| 2. | Uptake of DNA through membrane transport proteins |
| 3. | Uptake of DNA through transient pores in the bacterial cell wall |
| 4. | Expression of antibiotic resistance gene |
