What is true regarding A, B and C in the given diagrammatic representation of rDNA technology?
I: | At A, same restriction enzyme is used to cut both foreign and vector DNA |
II: | The enzyme used at B is DNA ligase |
III: | Step C can be called as transformation |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
What is true for the plasmids used as cloning vectors in recombinant procedures?
1. | Ori is responsible for controlling the copy number of linked DNA |
2. | The bacteria lacking R plasmids are resistant to antibiotics |
3. | The vector must have many sites for the same restriction enzyme |
4. | They can carry largest inserts amongst the available cloning vectors |
A and B in pBR322, shown in the diagram given below, respectively represent recognition sequences of:
What is true about the steps of PCR shown in the diagram given below?
I: | Step A occurs at the temperature of 95 – 980 C |
II: | Step B occurs at the temperature of 550 C |
III: | Step C occurs at the temperature of 720 C |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Which of the following primers would allow copying of the single-stranded DNA sequence 5' ATGCCTAGGTC?
1. | 5' TACGG | 2. | 5' CTGGA |
3. | 5' GACCT | 4. | 5' GGCAT |
The enzyme used in the polymerase chain reaction is a:
1. DNA dependent RNA polymerase
2. RNA dependent DNA polymerase
3. DNA dependent DNA polymerase
4. RNA dependent RNA polymerase
A host cell normally does not take up a foreign DNA until it has been made competent to do so. This is because:
1. | DNA is a hydrophilic molecule |
2. | DNA is a very large molecule |
3. | there are no receptors for DNA on the cell membrane |
4. | DNA is an inert molecule |
How does the bacterium protects its own DNA from the action of restriction endonucleases present in its cytoplasm?
1. | its DNA lacks active sites for the restriction endonucleases |
2. | its DNA is protected within a nuclear envelope |
3. | it adds methyl groups to the active sites of restriction endonucleases on its DNA |
4. | the DNA gets heterochromatised to prevent the action of restriction enzymes |
When “sticky ends” are paired, they can be joined by:
1. | restriction enzymes | 2. | polymerases |
3. | methylase | 4. | DNA ligase |
Which of the following is not a plasmid?
1. | pSC101 | 2. | pUC18 |
3. | BamHI | 4. | pBR322 |
