Assertion : Downstrem processing is gene...

Assertion : Downstrem processing is generally considered more difficult and coslier in plants than that in microbes.
Reason : Rhizosecretion is used as a method to facilitate easier recovery of recombinant proteins from plants.

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:
B
Purification of biochemical products from the culture medium is called downstream processing which is a costly and labour-intensive process because the amount of obtained product is less. While in rhizo-secretion, the gene is incorporated in the root cells and formation of product occurs in the root itself which can be extracted easily.
