Statement A: | Wine making as well as antigen production in recombinant organisms are included in biotechnology |
Statement B: | Biotechnology is a very wide area which deals with techniques of using a natural organism (or its parts) as well as genetic engineering |
Statement A: | Bacteriophages have very high copy numbers of their genome within the bacterial cells |
Statement B: | To recover many copies of the target DNA, it should not be cloned in a vector whose origin supports high copy number |

Statement A: | Agarose gel electrophoresis is employed to separate the fragments of DNA obtained after restriction enzyme digestion. |
Statement B: | DNA is a negatively charged molecule and moves toward the cathode. |
Assertion (A): | In vitro fertilisation, leading to a 'test-tube' baby, is included under the umbrella of biotechnology |
Reason (R): | The definition of biotechnology, given by EFB encompasses only modern molecular biotechnology view |

Statement A: | Plasmid is a double stranded structure. |
Statement B: | Plasmid is extra chromosomal genetic material in bacteria. |
(a) | A gene whose expression helps to identify transformed cell is known as a selectable marker. |
(b) | BOD incubator is essentially required for growing microbes on a large scale, for industrial production of enzymes. |
(c) | For transformation, micro-particles coated with DNA to be bombarbed using gene gun are made up of gold or tungsten. |
