Restriction endonucleases present in bacterial cells provide an advantage to the cell because these enzymes:
| 1. | can identify the mutated sequences on the chromosomal DNA and help in their repair |
| 2. | selectively bind to particular nucleotide sequences that may appear in viral DNA preventing its replication in the cell |
| 3. | can cut the plasmid DNA of the bacterial cell that allows them to recombine foreign DNA into their plasmid DNA |
| 4. | help the bacterium take up foreign DNA from their environment and combine it into their genome |
Match the following enzymes with their functions:
|
Column-I |
Column-II |
||
|
(a) |
Restriction endonuclease |
(i) |
joins the DNA fragments |
|
(b) |
Exonuclease |
(ii) |
extends primers on genomic DNA template |
|
(c) |
DNA ligase |
(iii) |
cuts DNA at a specific position |
|
(d) |
Tag polymerase |
(iv) |
removes nucleotides from the ends of DNA |
Select the correct option from the following:
| Options: | (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) |
| 1. | iii | i | iv | ii |
| 2. | iii | iv | i | ii |
| 3. | iv | iii | i | ii |
| 4. | ii | iv | i | iii |
The two antibiotic resistance genes on vector pBR 322 are for:
1. Ampicillin and Tetracycline
2. Ampicillin and Chloramphenicol
3. Chloramphenicol and Tetracycline
4. Tetracycline and Kanamycin
A selectable marker is used to:
| 1. | help in eliminating the non-transformants so that the transformants can be regenerated. |
| 2. | identify the gene for the desired trait in an alien organism. |
| 3. | select a suitable vector for transformation in a specific crop. |
| 4. | mark a gene on a chromosome for isolation using a restriction enzyme. |
Given below are four statements pertaining to the separation of DNA fragments using Gel electrophoresis. Identify the incorrect statements:
| a. | DNA is a negatively charged molecule and so it is loaded on gel towards the anode terminal. |
| b. | DNA fragments travel along the surface of the gel whose concentration does not affect the movement of DNA. |
| c. | Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, larger the distance it travels through it. |
| d. | Pure DNA can be visualized directly by exposing it to UV radiation. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. (a), (c) and (d)
2. (a), (b) and (c)
3. (b), (c) and (d)
4. (a), (b) and (d)
An enzyme catalysing the removal of nucleotides from ends of DNA is:
| 1. | DNA ligase | 2. | Endonuclease |
| 3. | Exonuclease | 4. | Protease |
