Assertion: In recombinant DNA technology, human genes are often transferred into bacteria (prokaryotes) or yeast (eukaryote)
Reason : Both bacteria and yeast multiply very fast to form huge population, which express the desired gene

A

If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark a

B

lf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is no t the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark b

C

If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark c

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark d.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In recombinant DNA technology widely used host for replication and amplification of recombinant DNA are prokaryotic E.coli and the eukaryotic yeast. They replicate very fast to form a large population which expressed desired gene. Yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) are important cloning tools for the analysis of complex genome such as that of humans. They allow the maintenance, propagation and analysis of such genome in an experimentally tractable system, the yeast.

Assertion: Mutation breeding is a process through which one gene from a parent transfer in to another and produce recombinant similar to parent. Reason : - Somatic hybridization does not induce variation.

An advantage of using yeasts rather than bacteria as recipient cells for the recombinant DNA of eukaryotes is that yeasts can
