Plasmids are good cloning vectors mainly because:
1.
they are circular
2.
they replicate autonomously
3.
they are extra-chromosomal DNA molecules found in many bacterial cells
4.
they carry genes vital for normal survival and reproduction

In a plasmid such as pBR322:
| I: | Ori controls the copy number of DNA per cell |
| II: | Multiple cloning sites are recognition sequences of common restriction enzymes |
| III: | Genes for antibiotic resistance are used as selectable markers |
| 1. | Only I and II are correct |
| 2. | Only I and III are correct |
| 3. | Only II and III are correct |
| 4. | I, II, and III are correct |

A plasmid has genes for resistance against ampicillin and tetracycline. The tetracycline resistant gene is insertionally inactivated by inserting a foreign DNA within the gene. The bacterial cells are transformed. The recombinant transformants:
| 1. | will be killed in a medium containing ampicillin but not in a medium containing tetracycline |
| 2. | will be killed in a medium containing tetracycline but not in a medium containing ampicillin |
| 3. | will be killed in a medium containing ampicillin and in a medium containing tetracycline |
| 4. | will not be killed in a medium containing ampicillin and in a medium containing tetracycline |

In agar gel electrophoresis, the restriction fragments produced by restriction enzymes:
| 1. | move towards cathode |
| 2. | do not move at all |
| 3. | are separated according to size with smaller fragments moving farther |
| 4. | are transported onto a nitrocellulose membrane |

It is usually necessary to induce ‘competence’ in bacterial cells to transform them in recombinant DNA procedures mainly because:
| 1. | bacterial cell has a cell wall |
| 2. | bacteria do not have a well defined nucleus and membrane bound organelles |
| 3. | DNA is a hydrophilic molecule |
| 4. | DNA is associated with positively charged histone proteins |

It is possible to make human proteins in bacterial cells with rDNA experiments because:
| 1. | bacterial cells replicate faster than eukaryotic cells |
| 2. | genetic code is almost universal |
| 3. | bacterial cells have plasmids that can be used as a vector |
| 4. | bacterial cells produce restriction enzymes |

Polymerase chain reaction can amplify DNA, producing about 1 billion copies in 30 cycles. The correct sequence of the steps of this reaction is:
| 1. | Denaturation → Annealing of primers → Extension of primers |
| 2. | Denaturation → Extension of primers → Annealing of primers |
| 3. | Extension of primers → Annealing of primers → Denaturation |
| 4. | Annealing of primers → Extension of primers → Denaturation |
