Read the given statements and select the correct option Statement 1 : In insertional inactivation, blue colour produced by bacterial colonies indicates that the plasmid does not have an insert into the bacterial genome. Statement 2: Presence of insert results into insertional inactivation of beta -galactosidase enzyme and the colonies do not produce any colour.
