If a re combinant DNA bearing ge ne for tetracyclin resistance is transferred into E.coli cells and the host cells are spread on agar plates containing tetracyclin then :-

If a recombinant DNA bearing gene for resistance to antibiotic ampicillin is transferred to E.coli cells, the host cells become transformed into ampicillin resistant cells. If such bacteria are transferred on agar plates containing ampicillin, only transformants will grown and the untransformed recipient cells will die. The ampicillin resistant gene in this case is called as 1) selectable marker 2) recombinant protein 3) cloning site 4) chemical scalpels

(a) Explain how to find whether an E. coli bacterium has transformed or not when a recombinant DNA bearing ampicillin resistant gene is transferred into it. (b) What does the ampicillin resistant gene act as in the above case?

Read the following statements and select the incorrect ones. (i) When the transformed cells on agar plates containing ampicillin are spread, both transformed and untransformed cells will grow. (ii) Restriction enzymes are used in isolation and separation of DNA from other macromolecules. (iii) Downstream processing is one of the steps of rDNA technology. (iv) Disarmed pathogen vectors are also used in transfer of rDNA into the host. a) (i) and (iii) b) (iii) and (iv) c) (i) and (iii) d) (i) and (ii)

Plasmids Contain antibiotic resistance genes Contain ds DNA molecule Are self replicable All the above

Some foreign DNA fragment is attached to Cla I site of pBR 322. This recombinant vector is used to transition Escherichia coli. The cells subjected to transformation are plated on two different media, one containing ampicillin and the other containing tetracycline. The transformed cells containing the recombinant vector will

The first recombinant DNA was constructed by linking an antibiotic resistant gene with the native plasmid of

A recombinant DNA molecule was created by ligating a gene to a plasmid vector. By mistake. An exonuclease was added to the tube containing the recombinant DNA. How does this affect the next step in the experiment, i.e., bacterial trasformation?

A recombinant DNA molecule was created by ligating a gene to a plasmid vector. By mistake, an exonuclease was added to the tube containing the recombinant DNA. How does this affect the next step in the experiment, i.e., bacterial transformation?

Assertion: DNA ligase plays an important role in recombinant DNA technology. Reason: The linking of antibiotic resistance gene with plasmid vector became possible by enzyme DNA ligase
