AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "the cut pieces of DNA are linked with plasmid DNA." This is a true statement because in recombinant DNA technology, cut pieces of DNA (which may contain a gene of interest) are indeed linked to plasmid DNA to create recombinant DNA. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "plasmid DNA fails to act as vectors." This statement is false. Plasmid DNA is commonly used as a vector in genetic engineering because it can carry foreign DNA into host cells. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: The assertion is true, while the reason is false. The assertion correctly describes a process in recombinant DNA technology, whereas the reason incorrectly states the role of plasmid DNA. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer to the question is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. **Final Answer**: Assertion is true, Reason is false. ---
