A piece of DNA, somehow transferred into an alien organism, will be able to multiply itself in the progeny cells of organism if:

1. It includes the centromere
2. It becomes a part of chromosome
3. It does not contain any intron sequences
4. It is a single stranded polynucleotide

In recombinant DNA experiments, a vector:

1.  carries DNA into a new cell 
2.  links together newly joined fragments of DN
3.  makes millions of copies of a specific segment of DNA
4.  separates fragments of DNA by their length and electrical charges

What is true for the plasmids used as cloning vectors in recombinant procedures?

1.  Ori is responsible for controlling the copy number of linked DNA
2.  The bacteria lacking R plasmids are resistant to antibiotics
3.  The vector must have many sites for the same restriction enzyme
4.  They can carry largest inserts amongst the available cloning vectors

Some bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. This trait is normally due to:
1. lack of membrane bound organelles
2. presence of a cell wall
3. presence of an extra-chromosomal circular DNA
4. a unique feature called as inclusion bodies

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
