The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statement from the provided options, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Context**: The question asks us to identify an incorrect statement related to recombinant DNA technology, specifically about the selection of recombinant bacteria and the role of beta-galactosidase. 2. **Analyze Each Statement**: - **Statement A**: "Selection of recombinant due to inactivation of antibiotic is a cumbersome procedure." - This statement is **correct**. The selection process can be lengthy and complex, as it involves using different antibiotics to identify transformed bacteria. - **Statement B**: "Insertional inactivation of beta-galactosidase leads to colorless colonies." - This statement is **correct**. When the gene of interest is inserted into the beta-galactosidase gene, it inactivates the enzyme, resulting in colorless colonies. - **Statement C**: "Insertional inactivation of beta-galactosidase is related to blue colored colonies." - This statement is **incorrect**. Blue colonies are produced when beta-galactosidase is active (i.e., when no insertion has occurred). Therefore, this statement contradicts the principle of insertional inactivation. - **Statement D**: "Insertional inactivation means the recombinant DNA is inserted within the coding sequence of the enzyme beta-galactosidase." - This statement is **correct**. Insertional inactivation involves inserting the recombinant DNA into the coding sequence of the enzyme, which leads to the inactivation of the enzyme. 3. **Identify the Incorrect Statement**: Based on the analysis, **Statement C** is the incorrect statement. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **"Insertional inactivation of beta-galactosidase is related to blue colored colonies."** ---
