Assertion : E.coli having pBR322 with DNA insert at BamHI site cannot grow in medium containing tetracyline.
Reason : Recoginition site for BamHI is present in `ter^(R)` region of pBR22.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
pBR322 has recognition sites for several commonly used restriction enzymes. Recognition site for BamHl is present in `tet^(r)` region i.e., region responsible for tetracyline resistance. When an insert is added at the BamHl recongnition site the gene for tetracycline resistance becomes non-functional and the recombinant bacteria with plasmid `pBR322` that has `DNA` insert at BamHl lose tetracycline resistance.
