Which of the following statements does not hold true for restriction enzyme?
1. | It recognises a palindromic nucleotide sequence |
2. | It is an endonuclease |
3. | It is isolated from viruses |
4. | It can produce the same kind of sticky ends in different DNA molecules |
Restriction endonucleases present in bacterial cells provide an advantage to the cell because these enzymes:
1. | can identify the mutated sequences on the chromosomal DNA and help in their repair |
2. | selectively bind to particular nucleotide sequences that may appear in viral DNA preventing its replication in the cell |
3. | can cut the plasmid DNA of the bacterial cell that allows them to recombine foreign DNA into their plasmid DNA |
4. | help the bacterium take up foreign DNA from their environment and combine it into their genome |
For the multiplication of any alien piece of DNA in an organism, it needs to be part of a chromosome that has a specific:
1. | Telomeric sequence | 2. | Multiple cloning sites |
3. | Ori | 4. | Selectable marker |
The first type II restriction endonuclease whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was:
1. | EcoRI | 2. | HindII |
3. | SmaI | 4. | BamHI |
The following palindrome is recognized by the restriction enzyme:
1. | BamHI | 2. | EcoRI |
3. | HindII | 4. | PstI |
pBR322 does not contain the site for:
1. | Pvu I | 2. | BamH I |
3. | Sma I | 4. | EcoR I |
A method used only for transforming animal cells is:
1. | Biolistics | 2. | Microinjection |
3. | Use of virus | 4. | Agrobacterium mediation |
Lysozyme should be used when isolating DNA in a pure form from:
1. | A bacterial cell | 2. | A fungal cell |
3. | A plant cell | 4. | An animal cell |
In recombinant DNA experiments, a vector:
1. | carries DNA into a new cell |
2. | links together newly joined fragments of DN |
3. | makes millions of copies of a specific segment of DNA |
4. | separates fragments of DNA by their length and electrical charges |
If any protein-encoding gene is expressed in a heterologous host, the protein formed is called:
1. | Recombinant protein | 2. | Native protein |
3. | Pro-protein | 4. | Exotic protein |
