Assertion (A): | DNA cannot pass through cell membranes. |
Reason (R): | DNA is a hydrophobic molecule. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion (A): | The discovery of restriction enzymes led to the birth of recombinant DNA technology as a discipline. |
Reason (R): | Restriction enzymes help in the precise cleavage of DNA at specific recognition sites, facilitating the insertion of foreign genes into plasmids. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation for (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A). |
3. | (A) is True, but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False, but (R) is True. |
1. | after the scientists who discover them. |
2. | based on the bacteria from which they are derived. |
3. | after the bacteriophage whose DNA is cut by them. |
4. | There is no convention or principles for naming restriction enzymes. |
1. | pUC101 | 2. | EcoR I |
3. | BamH I | 4. | Sma I |
1. | Chelation | 2. | Centrifugation |
3. | Elution | 4. | Hybridisation |
1. | methyl groups | 2. | telomeres |
3. | unpaired bases | 4. | Guanine rich repeats |
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. |
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. |

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). |
