1. | Escherichia coli | 2. | Bacillus thuringiensis |
3. | Salmonella typhimurium | 4. | Agrobacterium tumefaciens |
1. | cutting of DNA into fragments |
2. | separation of DNA fragments according to their size |
3. | construction of recombinant DNA by joining with cloning vectors |
4. | isolation of DNA molecule |
While isolating DNA from bacteria, which of the following enzymes is not required?

2. Ribonuclease
3. Deoxyribonuclease
4. Protease
A. | Insertion of recombinant DNA into the host cell. |
B. | Cutting of DNA at specific location by restriction enzyme. |
C. | Isolation of desired DNA fragment. |
D. | Amplification of gene of interest using PCR. |
1. | B, D, A, C | 2. | B, C, D, A |
3. | C, A, B, D | 4. | C, B, D, A |
Spooling is:
1. | Amplification of DNA |
2. | Cutting of separated DNA bands from the agarose gel |
3. | Transfer of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes |
4. | Collection of isolated DNA |
Select the correct statement from the following:
1. | Gel electrophoresis is used for the amplification of a DNA segment. |
2. | The polymerase enzyme joins the gene of interest and the vector DNA. |
3. | Restriction enzyme digestions are performed by incubating purified DNA molecules with the restriction enzymes of optimum conditions. |
4. | PCR is used for the isolation and separation of genes of interest. |
Given below are four statements pertaining to the separation of DNA fragments using gel electrophoresis. Identify the incorrect statements:
(a) | DNA is a negatively charged molecule and so it is loaded on gel towards the anode terminal. |
(b) | DNA fragments travel along the surface of the gel, whose concentration does not affect the movement of DNA. |
(c) | The smaller the DNA fragment, the greater the distance it travels through it. |
(d) | Pure DNA can be visualized directly by exposing it to UV radiation. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. | (a), (c) and (d) | 2. | (a), (b) and (c) |
3. | (b), (c) and (d) | 4. | (a), (b) and (d) |
