If a recombinant DNA bearing gene for ampicillin resistance if transferred into E.Coli cells and the host cells are spread on agar plates containing ampicillin, then:

Assertion: The ampicillin resistance gene is called as selectable marker gene Reason :If host cells are spreaded on agar plates contraining ampicillin and only untransformed cells will survive

If a recombinant DNA bearing gene for resistance to antibiotic ampicillin is transferred to E.coli cells, the host cells become transformed into ampicillin resistant cells. If such bacteria are transferred on agar plates containing ampicillin, only transformants will grown and the untransformed recipient cells will die. The ampicillin resistant gene in this case is called as

(a) Explain how to find whether an E. coli bacterium has transformed or not when a recombinant DNA bearing ampicillin resistant gene is transferred into it. (b) What does the ampicillin resistant gene act as in the above case?

Assertion : Selectrable markers helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of transformants Reason: If a recombinant DNA bearing gene for resistance to ampicillin is transferred into E.coli cells, the host cells become transformed into ampicillin-resistant cells

Read the following statements and select the incorrect ones. (i) When the transformed cells on agar plates containing ampicillin are spread, both transformed and untransformed cells with grow. (ii) Restriction enzymes are used in isolation and separation of DNA from other macromolecules. (iii) Downstream processing is one of the steps of rDNA technology. (iv) Disarmed pathogen vectors are also used in transfer of rDNA into the host.
