I. | Bacteriophages because of their high number per cell, have very high copy numbers of their genome within the bacterial cells. |
II. | If one wants to recover many copies of the target DNA, it should be cloned in a vector whose origin supports high copy number. |
III. | A selectable marker helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permits the growth of the transformants. |
IV. | Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens has now been modified into a cloning vector which is no more pathogenic to the plants but is still able to use mechanisms to deliver genes of our interest into a variety of plants. |
V. | Retroviruses in animals have the ability to transform normal cells into cancerous cells and hence can never be used as a cloning vector in rDNA procedures. |

Assertion (A): | In order to link the alien DNA, the vector needs to have very few, preferably single, recognition sites for the commonly used restriction enzymes: |
Reason: (R): | Presence of more than one recognition sites within the vector will generate several fragments, which will complicate the gene cloning. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |

1. | DNA is the genetic material of all organisms without exception. |
2. | As it is an RNA world, the genetic material is ds RNA in majority of the organisms. |
3. | Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA along with other macromolecules. |
4. | Proteins such as histones can be removed from the cell lysate with the help of ribonuclease. |
Assertion (A): | Agar gel electrophoresis is employed to check the progression of a restriction enzyme digestion. |
Reason (R): | Restriction enzyme digestion is performed by incubating purified DNA molecules with the restriction enzymes, at the optimal conditions for that specific enzyme. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
Assertion (A): | Bioreactors are important in biotechnology procedures to obtain desired products. |
Reason (R): | Bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
1. | Lysozyme or Chitinase | 2. | DNase |
3. | DNAs | 4. | Proteases |
1. | a complementary DNA sequence synthesised on the template of hnRNA |
2. | artificially synthesised or sequences used to induce replication of DNA |
3. | a single-stranded sequence of DNA or RNA used to search for its complementary sequence in a sample genome |
4. | small chemically synthesised oligonucletides that are complementary to the regions of DNA |
Assertion (A): | It is possible to select a bacterial cell transformed with a recombinant DNA bearing gene for an antibiotic resistance if the transformed cells are spread on agar plates containing the antibiotic. |
Reason (R): | Due to insertional inactivation of the gene for antibiotic resistance gene, only the untransformed bacterial cells will grow and the transformed bacterial cells will die. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
Assertion (A): | There is a need for the recombinant DNA to be expressed in recombinant DNA technology procedures. |
Reason (R): | In almost all recombinant DNA technologies, the ultimate aim is to produce a desirable protein. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
