Identify the wrong statement with regards to restriction enzyme:
1. | They cut the strength at palindromic sites. |
2. | They are useful in genetic engineering. |
3. | Sticky ends can be joined by using DNA ligases. |
4. | Each restriction enzyme functions by inspecting the length of a DNA sequence. |
The specific palindromic sequence which is recognized by EcoRI is:
1. | 5' -GGAACC-3' 3'-CCTTGG-5' |
2. | 5'-CTTAAG-3' 3'-GAATTC-5' |
3. | 5'-GGATCC-3' 3'-CCTAGG-5' |
4. | 5'-GAATTC-3' 3'-CTTAAG-5' |
In-gel electrophoresis, separated DNA fragments can be visualized with the help of:
1. Ethidium bromide in UV radiation
2. Acetocarmine in UV radiation
3. Ethidium bromide in infrared radiation
4. Acetocarmine in bright blue light
A circular plasmid of 10000 bp is digested with two restriction enzymes A and B, to produce 3000 bp and 2000 bp bands when visualized on an agarose gel. When digested with one enzyme at a time, only one band is visible at 5000 bp. If the first site for enzyme A [A1] is present at the 100th base, the order in which the remaining sites [A2, B1 and B2] are present is:
1. | 5100, 3100, 8100 | 2. | 3100, 5100, 8100 |
3. | 8100, 5100, 3100 | 4. | 8100, 3100, 5100 |
The downstream processing stage of rDNA does not involve:
1. | Biosynthesis | 2. | Separation |
3. | Purification | 4. | Preservation |
The enzyme used for DNA amplification in PCR procedures is:
1. Polynucleotide phosphorylase
2. Reverse transcriptase
3. Taq polymerase
4. DNA-dependent RNA polymerase
To isolate DNA in pure form from a bacterial cell, it should initially be treated with:
1. | Proteases and RNase but not DNase | 2. | Lysozyme |
3. | Restriction endonuclease | 4. | DNA ligase |
In microinjection, the rDNA :
1. | coats the micropellets and is used in biolistics to transform plant cells |
2. | is directly injected into the cytoplasm of a plant or an animal cell |
3. | is delivered in the vicinity of the plasma membrane of the cell (to be transformed) |
4. | is directly injected into the nucleus of an animal cell |
Which of the following can be used to induce competence for getting a bacterial cell transformed during rDNA procedures?
1. | A divalent cation | 2. | Ethidium bromide |
3. | Polyethylene glycol | 4. | Anionic proteins |
