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 |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |

3. | One million copies | 4. | One billion copies |
1. | Pvu I | 2. | BamH I |
3. | Pst I | 4. | Pvu II |
Assertion (A): | The genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline or kanamycin, etc., are considered useful selectable markers for E. coli. |
Reason (R): | The normal E. coli cells do not carry resistance against any of these antibiotics. |
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 |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
I: | Herbert Boyer performed studies on a couple of restriction enzymes of the E.coli bacterium with especially useful properties. |
II: | Stanley Cohen developed a method of removing plasmids from the bacterial cell and then reinserting them in other bacterial cells. |
