The DNA molecule to which the gene of interest is integrated for cloning is called:
| 1. | Transformer | 2. | Vector |
| 3. | Template | 4. | Carrier |
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
| Assertion (A): | In rDNA technology, non-recombinants transformed bacteria grow on the medium containing ampicillin as well as the medium containing tetracycline. |
| Reason (R): | Recombinant plasmids contain the foreign gene of interest. |
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
