Describe recombinant DNA technology

What are the important steps in recombinant DNA technology ?

Study the following statements regarding recombinant DNA technology and select the incorrect ones. (i) Taq polymerase extends the primers using the nucleotides provided in the reaction. (ii) Antibiotic resistance genes are considered as desirable genes in recombinant DNA technology. (iii) DNA fragments are separated according to their charge only, in agarose gel electrophoresis. (iv) Transformation is a procedure through which a piece of DNA is integrated in to the genome of a host bacterium. (v) To produce higher yields of a desired protein, host cells can be multiplied in a continuous culture. (vi) Downstream processing is one of the steps of polymerase chain reaction.

Read the given statements and select the correct option. Statement 1 : The tumour inducing plasmid (Tiplasmid) acts as a cloning vector in recombinant DNA technology. Statement 2: The Ti plasmid which is used in the mechanisms of delivering genes to a cell remains pathogenic.
