Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
| Assertion (A): | In rDNA technology, non-recombinants transformed bacteria grow on the medium containing ampicillin as well as the medium containing tetracycline. |
| Reason (R): | Recombinant plasmids contain the foreign gene of interest. |
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

The construction of the first recombinant DNA emerged from the possibility of linking a gene encoding antibiotic resistance with a native plasmid of which of the following organism?
1. Escherichia coli
2. Bacillus thuringiensis
3. Salmonella typhimurium
4. Agrobacterium tumefaciens
In a cell, the separation of DNA strands is brought about by the enzyme DNA helicase, whereas in PCR, the separation of DNA strands is due to :
1. High temperature
2. Two sets of Primers
3. Taq DNA polymerase
4. Deoxynucleotides
Identify the properties of a good vector used in rDNA technology:

| (c) | The restriction sites in vector should be in the antibiotic- resistant genes |
| (d) | It should have suitable marker genes |
| (e) | It should be easy to isolate and purify |
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. (a), (c) and (e) only2. (c), (d) and (e) only
3. (a), (b) and (c) only
4. (a), (c), (d) and (e) only
| Assertion(A): | Insertional inactivation method helps to differentiate recombinant from non-recombinant |
| Reason(R): | Selection of recombinant in this method depends upon inactivation of antibiotics |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| 1. | They used plasmid of salmonella typhimurium as a vector |
| 2. | They used plasmid of Escherichia coli to obtained antibiotic resistance gene |
| 3. | They used molecular scissor’s to obtained antibiotic resistance gene from the plasmid of salmonella typhimurium |
| 4. | They used DNA ligase to join antibiotic resistance gene obtained from Escherichia coli to the plasmid of salmonella |
