DNA is a hydrophilic molecule, so it cannot pass through cell membranes. Then how does a recombinant DNA inserted into a plasmid vector, enter into a bacterial cell ?

Consider the following statements each with one or two balnks. (i) The bile duct and the pancreatic duct open together into the duodenum as the (1) which is guarded by a sphincter called the (2) (ii) (3) is a proteolytic enzyme found in gastric juice of infants which hleps in the digestion of milk proteins. (iii) Fatty acids and glycerol being insoluble, cannot be absorbed into the blood. They are first incorporated into small droplets called (4) which move into the intestinal mucose. They are re-formed into very small protein coated fat globules called the (5) which are transported into the lymph vessels (lacteals ) in the villi.

In the process of insertional inactivation 1) a recombinant DNA is inserted within the coding sequence of enzyme β -galactosidase, resulting in inactivation of the enzyme 2) a recombinant DNA is inserted within the coding sequence of proteins involved in the replication of the plasmid 3) a recombinat DNA is inserted within the recongnition site for EcoRl 4) none of these

In biolistic method of gene trasfer, the microparticles coated with foreign DNA are bombarded into target cells at a very high velocity. These microparticles are made up of 1) silver or tungsten 2) arsenic or silver 3) gold or tungsten 4) none of these

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

If lines x=y=za n dx=y/2=z/3 and third line passing through (1,1,1) form a triangle of area sqrt(6) units, then the point of intersection of third line with the second line will be a. (1,2,3) b. 2,4,6 c. 4/3,6/3,(12)/3 d. none of these

The sides of a triangle have the combined equation x^2-3y^2-2x y+8y-4=0 . The third side, which is variable, always passes through the point (-5,-1) . Find the range of values of the slope of the third line such that the origin is an interior point of the triangle.

Let T be the line passing through the points P(-2,\ 7) and Q(2,\ -5) . Let F_1 be the set of all pairs of circles (S_1,\ S_2) such that T is tangent to S_1 at P and tangent to S_2 at Q , and also such that S_1 and S_2 touch each other at a point, say, M . Let E_1 be the set representing the locus of M as the pair (S_1,\ S_2) varies in F_1 . Let the set of all straight lines segments joining a pair of distinct points of E_1 and passing through the point R(1,\ 1) be F_2 .
