A piece of DNA, which is somehow transferred into an alien organism, most likely:
1. would not be able to multiply itself in the progeny cells of the organism.
2. would be transcribed but the transcript will not be translated.
3. would express as different proteins from the organism it was derived from.
4. would be invariably destroyed by the cytosolic endonucleases in eukaryotic cells.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A):     In order to force bacteria to take up the plasmid, the bacterial cells must first be made ‘competent’ to take up DNA.
Reason (R): All bacterial cells already have plasmids and will not normally pick up another.
   
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains the (A).
2. (A) is True; (R) is False
3. (A) is False; (R) is False
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain the (A)

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): In order to link the alien DNA, the vector needs to have very few, preferably single, recognition sites for the commonly used restriction enzymes.
Reason (R): Presence of more than one recognition sites within the vector will generate several fragments, which will complicate the gene cloning.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. (A) is True; (R) is False
3. (A) is False; (R) is False
