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
