Given table gives an account of differences between PCR and gene cloning. Which of the following points shows the incorrect difference ?
`{:("Parameter",PCR,"Gene cloning"),(1."Efficient","More","Less"),(2."Apparatus Requirement",DNA,"Restriction enzyme, ligase, vector, bacterial cell"),(3."Manipulation","in vitro","in vitro and in vivo"),(4."Cost","More","Less"),(5."Automation","Yes",No),(6."Error probability","Less","More"),(7."Time for a typical experiment","2-4days",4hours),(8."Application","More","Less"):}`
a) 1 and 3
b) 4,5 and 6
c) 4 and 7
d) 4,7 and 8

A

a) 1 and 3

B

b) 4,5 and 6

C

c) 4 and 7

D

d) 4,7 and 8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The cost of gene cloning is far more than PCR because gene cloning requires many intricate steps. PCR takes less than 4 hours while gene cloning can take days.

Read the given statements and select the correct option. Statement 1 : The cloning vector is required to have very few, preferably single, recongnition sites for the commonly used restriction enzymes. Statement 2: Presence of more than one recongnition sites within a cloning vector will generate several fragments, which will complicate the process of gene cloining. 1) Both statements 1 and 2 are correct 2) statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect 3) statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct 4) None of the above

Study carefully the following stages of life cycle of malarial parasite i.e., Plasmodium. Arrange these stages in the correct sequence and select the correct answer. 1. Sporozoites leave the blood stream and enter the liver cells of man. 2. Sporozoites present in the salivary glands of female Anopheles mosquito are injected into the blood stream of man. 3. The parasite reproduces asexually in RBCs, resulting in bursting of RBCs and causing the cycles of fever, relased parasites infect new RBCs. 4. The parasite reproduces asexually in liver cells, ultimately causing the rupturing of cells. 5. Two types of gametocytes i.e., microgametocytes and macrogametocytes develop in the RBCs. 6. Female Anopheleles mosquito takes up the gametocytes with blood meal of an infected person. 7. Mature infective stage of the parasite i.e., sporozoites escape from intestine and migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands. 8. Fertilisation and developmental stages of the parasite take place in mosquito's stomach.
