Two core techniques that enabled birth of modern biotechnology are:
A: Techniques to alter the chemistry of genetic material, to introduce these into host organisms and thus change the phenotype of the host organism.
B: Maintenance of sterile ambience in chemical engineering process to enable growth of only the desired microbes/eukaryotic cell in large quantities for the manufacture of biotechnological products. 
 
1. A is called as Genetic Engineering and B is called as Biophysical engineering.
2. A is called as Genomics and B is called as Bioprocess engineering.
3. A is called as Genetic Engineering and B is called as Bioprocess engineering.
4. A is called as Genomics and B is called as Biophysical engineering.

Identify the correct statements: 
I:  In the Cohen and Boyer experiment, the linking of antibiotic resistance gene with a plasmid vector became possible with the enzyme DNA ligase.
II:  Recombinant DNA molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome.
