The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "A good vector is one whose ori supports a high copy number." - **Explanation**: In molecular biology, a vector is a DNA molecule used to carry foreign genetic material into another cell. The origin of replication (ori) is a crucial part of the vector that allows it to replicate independently within the host cell. A high copy number means that the vector can replicate many times, leading to an increased yield of the cloned DNA. 2. **Evaluating the Reason**: The reason given is "It helps in identifying & eliminating non-transformants & permitting the growth of transformants." - **Explanation**: Transformants are cells that have taken up the foreign DNA, while non-transformants have not. Selectable markers (like antibiotic resistance genes) are used to differentiate between these two types of cells. The reason suggests that the high copy number of the vector aids in identifying and eliminating non-transformants, which is not entirely accurate. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion is true because a good vector indeed has a high copy number for effective replication. - The reason is false because the identification and elimination of non-transformants rely on selectable markers, not directly on the high copy number of the vector. 4. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true while the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: False

Read the following statement regarding DNA recombinant technology. Identify the statements that are true and false and select the appropriate option. I. Selectable marker helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants. II. Plasmids have the ability to replicate within bacterial cells independent of the control of chromosomal DNA making it a suitable cloning vector. III. The DNA fragments for isolation can be separated by a technique known as thin-layer chromatography. IV. A technique where cells are bombarded with high velocity micro-particles of Au or W coated with DNA is known as micro-injection. {:(,I,II,III,IV),(1,"False","False","True","True"),(2,"True","True","False","False"),(3,"True","True","True","True"),(4,"False","False","True","False"):}

Which of these is not the feature of a cloning vector? (a) Ori supporting high copy number (b) Selectable marker (c) Resistant to the action of restriction enzymes (d) Presence of cloning site

Assertion : A given transformer can be used to step-up ot step-down the voltage. Reason : The output voltage depends upon the ratio of the number of turns of the two coils of the transformer.

Assertion : A step-up transformer changes a low voltage into a high voltage. Reason : This violate the law of conservation of energy.

Assertion: An AC can be transmitted over long distances without much power loss. Reason: An AC can be stepped up or down with the help of a transformer.

Assertion : In Griffith's experiment, a mixture of heat-killed virulent bacteria R and live non - virulent bacteria S, lead to the death of mice. Reason : 'Transforming principle' got transferred from heat -killed R strain and made it virulent.
