(4) DNA is an ampholyte
If one needs to derive a cDNA of human insulin, which cells should be taken up for extraction?

A distinct advantage of continuous culture over batch culture is
(1) Higher productivity
(2) Versitality
(3) Can be used for different reactions everyday
(4) Continuous inflow of nutrients
Plasmids are good vectors for genetic engineering because
1. They self replicate within bacterial cells
2. Replicate freely outside bacterial cells
3. Can be replicated in culture
4. Can be replicated in laboratory using enzymes
