Assetion: In recombinant DNA technology,...

Assetion: In recombinant DNA technology, human genes are often transferred into bacteria (prokaryotes) or yeast (eukaryote)
Reason : Both bacteria and yeast multiply very fast to form huge population, which express the desired gene

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false but R is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The growth rate of yeast and bacteria is high and hence they can produce more number of progenies and thus can quantify the recombinant DNA in a very short period of time.
