This method of finding a gene is used when researchers know very little about the gene they are trying to find. This process results in a complete gene library: a collection of copies of DNA fragments that represent the entire genome of an organism:

A

Cloning

B

Shotgun cloning

C

Gene synthesis cloning

D

PCR

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Shotgun cloning is a method to duplicate genomic DNA. The DNA to be cloned is cut using a restriction enzyme or by randomly using a physical method to cleave DNA into small pieces. These pieces are then taken together and cloned into a vector.

Answer the following question. When we pick up a newspaper, a book, or an article, we come to our task with certain preconceptions and predispositions. We expect to find a specific piece of information or be presented with an argument or an analysis of something, say, the likelihood of recession in the next six months or the reasons why children can't read. We probably know a little about the book or article we are reading even before we start. There was, after all, some reason why we chose to read one piece of writing rather than another. Our expectations and predispositions may, however, blind us to what the article and its author is actually saying. If, for example, we are used to disagreeing with the author, we may see only what we expect to see and not what is actually there. Our expectations and predispositions may, however, blind us because

Study the following statements regarding recombinant DNA technology and select the incorrect ones. (i) Taq polymerase extends the primers using the nucleotides provided in the reaction. (ii) Antibiotic resistance genes are considered as desirable genes in recombinant DNA technology. (iii) DNA fragments are separated according to their charge only, in agarose gel electrophoresis. (iv) Transformation is a procedure through which a piece of DNA is integrated in to the genome of a host bacterium. (v) To produce higher yields of a desired protein, host cells can be multiplied in a continuous culture. (vi) Downstream processing is one of the steps of polymerase chain reaction.
