Which of the following is most used in genetic engineering:
1. E. coil and Agrobacterium
2. Mycobacteria and Salmonella
3. Aspergillus
4. Penicillium
Which of the following are used in gene cloning:
1. Lomasomes
2. Mesosomes
3. Plasmids
4. Nucleoids
In genetic engineering, a DNA segment (gene) of interest is transferred to the host cell through a vector. Consider the following four agents (A-D) in this regard and select the correct option about which one or more of these can be used as a vector/vectors:
A. | a bacterium | B. | plasmid |
C. | plasmodium | D. | bacteriophage |
Options:
1. | (A) only | 2. | (A) and (C) only |
3. | (B) and (D) only | 4. | (A), (B) and (D) only |
The most important feature in a plasmid to serve as a vector in gene cloning experiment is:
1. Origin of replication (ori)
2. Presence of a selectable marker
3. Presence of sites for restriction endonuclease
4. Its size
1. | The gene 'X' is responsible for controlling the copy number of the linked DNA and 'Y' for protein involved in the replication of Plasmid. |
2. | The gene 'X' is 'for protein involved in replication of Plasmid and 'Y' for resistance to antibiotics. |
3. | Gene 'X' is responsible for recognition sites and 'Y' is responsible for antibiotic resistance. |
4. | The gene 'X' is responsible for resistance to antibiotics and 'Y' for protein involved in the replication of Plasmid. |
