Q. No.Which of the following are used in gene cloning:
1. Lomasomes
2. Mesosomes
3. Plasmids
4. Nucleoids
In genetic engineering, a DNA segment (gene) of interest is transferred to the host cell through a vector. Consider the following four agents (A-D) in this regard and select the correct option about which one or more of these can be used as a vector/vectors:
| A. | a bacterium | B. | plasmid |
| C. | plasmodium | D. | bacteriophage |
Options:
| 1. | (A) only | 2. | (A) and (C) only |
| 3. | (B) and (D) only | 4. | (A), (B) and (D) only |
A and B in pBR322, shown in the diagram given below, respectively represent recognition sequences of:
| 1. | BamH I and Sma I | 2. | Hind II and Sma I |
| 3. | BamH I and Sal I | 4. | Sal I and Hind I |
The two antibiotic resistance genes on vector pBR 322 are for:
1. Ampicillin and Tetracycline
2. Ampicillin and Chloramphenicol
3. Chloramphenicol and Tetracycline
4. Tetracycline and Kanamycin
rop segment codes for pBR322?
1. Resistance protein
2. Protein for replication
3. Proteins for translation
4. Cloning site
Part of a plasmid such as pBR322 responsible for controlling the copy number of the linked alien DNA is
1. Ori
2. rop
3. ampR
4. tetR
Plasmid pBR322 has a PstI restriction enzyme site within gene ampR that confers ampicillin resistance. If this enzyme is used for inserting a gene for -galactoside production and the recombinant plasmid is inserted in an E.coli strain,
| 1. | it will lead to the lysis of host cells. |
| 2. | it will be able to produce a novel protein with dual abilities. |
| 3. | it will not be able to confer ampicillin resistance to the host cell. |
| 4. | the transformed cells will have the ability to resist ampicillin as well as produce β -galactoside. |
1. Presence of two or more recognition sites
2. Presence of origin of replication
3. Presence of a marker gene
4. Presence of single restriction enzyme site
Identify the properties of a good vector used in rDNA technology:
| (a) | It should have origin of replication supporting a high copy number |
| (b) | It should have preferably more than '2' recognition sites |
| (c) | The restriction sites in vector should be in the antibiotic- resistant genes |
| (d) | It should have suitable marker genes |
| (e) | It should be easy to isolate and purify |
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
| 1. | (a), (c) and (e) only | 2. | (c), (d) and (e) only |
| 3. | (a), (b) and (c) only | 4. | (a), (c), (d) and (e) only |
| 1. | PsT I | 2. | Pvu I |
| 3. | EcoR I | 4. | BamH I |
