Selectable marker helps
1. To identify transformants
2. To identify recombinants
3. To identify non- recombinants
4. To eliminate transformants
A selectable marker is used to:
1. | help in eliminating the non-transformants so that the transformants can be regenerated. |
2. | identify the gene for the desired trait in an alien organism. |
3. | select a suitable vector for transformation in a specific crop. |
4. | mark a gene on a chromosome for isolation using a restriction enzyme. |
Assertion (A): | Polymerase chain reaction is used in DNA amplification. |
Reason (R): | The ampicillin resistant gene is used as a selectable marker to check transformation. |
1. | (A) is not correct but (R) is correct. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
4. | (A) is correct but (R) is not correct. |
