In the preparation of recombinant DNA, the cut out ‘gene of interest’ from the source DNA and the cut vector with space are mixed and:
1. ligase is added.
2. the temperature of the apparatus is increased to 95 degree Celsius.
3. a suitable host cell is incubated with the fragments.
4. primers are added for annealing to DNA fragments.

Assertion (A):  During the heat shock method, the cells are incubated with recombinant
DNA at \(42^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), following by placing them briefly on ice and then putting if back at \(42^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
Reason (R):  After heat shock, uptake of DNA through transient pores in the bacterial cell wall takes place. 
 
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.
