Restriction endonucleases present in bacterial cells provide an advantage to the cell because these enzymes:
1. | can identify the mutated sequences on the chromosomal DNA and help in their repair |
2. | selectively bind to particular nucleotide sequences that may appear in viral DNA preventing its replication in the cell |
3. | can cut the plasmid DNA of the bacterial cell that allows them to recombine foreign DNA into their plasmid DNA |
4. | help the bacterium take up foreign DNA from their environment and combine it into their genome |
Which of the following equipment is essentially required for growing microbes on a large scale for the industrial production of enzymes?
1. | Bioreactor | 2. | BOD incubator |
3. | Sludge digester | 4. | Industrial oven |
DNA precipitation, out of a mixture of biomolecules, can be achieved by treatment with:
1. Chilled chloroform
2. Isopropanol
3. Chilled ethanol
4. Methanol at room temperature
Following statements describe the characteristics of the enzyme Restriction Endonuclease. Identify the incorrect statement:
1. | The enzyme recognizes a specific palindromic nucleotide sequence in the DNA |
2. | The enzyme cuts DNA molecules at an identified position within the DNA |
3. | The enzyme binds DNA at specific sites and cuts only one of the two strands |
4. | The enzyme cuts the sugar-phosphate backbone at specific sites on each strand |
Biolistic technique is used in:
