The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the inactivation of any vector gene due to the insertion of a desired gene is called insertional inactivation." - This means that when a foreign gene is inserted into a vector (like a plasmid), it disrupts the function of the original gene present in the vector. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "sometimes restriction sites are also present in between the gene sequence of the vector." - Restriction sites are specific sequences in the DNA where restriction enzymes can cut the DNA. This is crucial for inserting the desired gene into the vector. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion and reason are connected because the presence of restriction sites allows for the insertion of the desired gene into the vector. - When the desired gene is inserted at a restriction site, it can lead to the inactivation of the original gene in the vector, which is the essence of insertional inactivation. 4. **Example to Illustrate**: - Consider the plasmid PBR322, which has genes for tetracycline and ampicillin resistance. - If a desired gene is inserted into the tetracycline resistance gene, the original tetracycline resistance gene becomes inactive, demonstrating insertional inactivation. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Therefore, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
