An advantage of using yeasts rather than bacteria as recipient cells for the recombinant DNA of eukaryotes is that yeasts can

A

1) produce restriction enzymes

B

2) excise introns from the RNA transcript

C

3) remove methyl groups

D

4) reproduce more rapidly

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Yeasts have been extensively used for functional expression of eukaryotic genes because they offer several advantages. Yeasts are the simplest eukaryotic organisms and like bacteria are single-celled, genetically well-characterised, easy to grow and mainpulate. since yeast is a eukaryote, it have an intron excision mechanism. Thus, it can be used for producing and expressing recombinant DNA of eukaryotes.

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
