Which one of the following is commonly used in transfer of foreign DNA into crop plants?

explain pBR 322 plasmid and label the following in it: Any two restriction sites.

Two questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you required to choose any one of the following four responses. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of Association. If both Association and Reason are true and Reasons is not a correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertions and Reasongs are false. Assertion: Recognition site should be preferably single and responsive to commonly used restriction enzyme. Reason:In pBR 322 alien DNA is ligated generally in the area of Bam-HI site of tetracycline resistance gene.

Two questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you required to choose any one of the following four responses. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of Association. If both Association and Reason are true and Reasons is not a correct explanation of Assertion. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. If both Assertions and Reason are false. Assertion: DNA segments can be excised by 'molecular scissors or chemical scalpels' what biotechnologists call restriction enzymes. Reason: Restriction enzymes are synthesized by microbes as a defence mechanism are specific endonucleases which are cleave double stranded DNA.

Assertion : E.coli having pBR322 with DNA insert at BamH 1 site cannot grow in medium containing tetracycline. Reson: Recognition site for BamH 1 is present in tetR region of pBR322.

In genetic engineering, a DNA segment (gene) of interest, is transferred to the host cell through a vector. Consider the following four agents (i-iv) in ths regard and select the correct option about which one or more of these can be used as vector/vectors: (i) Bacterium (ii) Plasmids (iii) Plasmodium (iv) Bacteriophage

Juhi wants to buy a bicycle. She goes to the market and finds that the bicycle she likes is available for ₹1800. Juhi has ₹ 600 with her. So, she tells the shopkeeper that she would not be able to buy it. The shopkeeper, after a bit of calculation, makes the following offer. He tells Juhi that she could take the bicycle by making a payment of ₹600 cash down and the remaining money could be made in two monthly instalments of ₹610 each. Juhi has two options one is to go for instalment scheme or to make cash payment by taking loan from a bank which is available at the rale of 10% per annum simple interest. Which option is more economical to her?

Read the following four statements (A-D) about certain mistakes in two of them: The first transgenic buffalo Rosie produced milk which was human alpha-lactalbumin enriched. Restriction enzymes are used in isolation of DNA from other macro-molecules Downstream processing is one of the steps of R-DNA technology. Disarmed pathogen vectors are also used in transfer of R-DNA into the host.
