The correct Answer is:
To analyze the question, we need to evaluate the assertion and the reason provided: **Assertion:** DNA fingerprinting is a unique process through which recombinants are identified similar to mother-parent. **Reason:** Micropropagation is a technique to produce genetically uniform plants. ### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion - DNA fingerprinting is a technique used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA profiles. It involves analyzing specific regions of DNA that vary greatly among individuals, known as variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs). - The assertion states that DNA fingerprinting identifies recombinants similar to the mother-parent. This is incorrect because DNA fingerprinting is not specifically about identifying recombinants; rather, it is used to establish genetic relationships and identify individuals based on their unique DNA patterns. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason - Micropropagation is indeed a technique used in plant biotechnology to produce genetically uniform plants. It involves taking a small part of a plant (like a shoot tip) and growing it in a controlled environment to produce new plants that are clones of the original. - The reason provided is true as it accurately describes the process of micropropagation. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, the overall statement is incorrect. Therefore, the correct evaluation is that the assertion is false while the reason is true. ### Final Answer - **Assertion:** False - **Reason:** True

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.

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.

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.

Assertion : Genetic engineering requires both nuclease and ligases. Reason : Ligases produce the nick in the recombinant DNA molecule.

Assertion: Genetic engineering is helpful in development of high yielding varieties of plant as it introduces new genes into host plants Reason :Disease resistance and high yielding varieties can only be produced through genetic engineering
