Correct statement about restriction endonuclease. (I) It is the enzyme which cuts DNA at a particular point. (II) The first restriction endonuclease was Hindll. (III) Overall,900 restriction enzymes have been isolated from about 200 strains. (IV) Each restriction endonuclease recognizes a specific palindromic sequence.

In recombinant DNA technology before the use of restriction endonuclease , we have to isolated and precipitate the genetic material (DNA) . For this purpose we use following different enzyme / chemical :

Find out which among the following is true and which is false (i) Recombinant DNA technology has made it possible to engineer microbes, plants and animals such that they have novel capabilities. (ii) Genetically modified organisms have been created by using methods other than natural methods to transfer one or more genes from organism to another, generally using techniques such as recombinant DNA technology. (iii) GM plants have been useful in increasing crop yields, reduce post harvest losses and make crops more tolerant of stressess. (iv) Recombinant DNA technology process have made immense impact in the area of healthcare by enabling mass production of safe and more effective therapeutics. (v) since the recombinant therapeutics are identical to human proteins, they do not induced unwanted immunological responses.

Following enzymes /techniques are used in the process of recombinant DNA technology A. Eco RI to cut the isolated genome B. DNA ligase C. Protease and ribonuclease for removal of proteins and RNA from DNA D. Production of recombination hosts E. lysozyme for isolation of the genetic material (DNA) F. gel electrophoresis for separation and isolation of DNA fragments Mark the correct sequence of their use.
