Microinjection is suitable for :

1. Injecting an ovum into the sperm in IVF

2. Transforming animal cells

3. Injecting very small sized drug particles into neurons

4. Conferring antibiotic resistance to a certain strain of bacteria 

The plasmid pBR322 does not contain:

1. An origin of replication site

2. A gene that encodes for restrictor of plasmid copy number

3. Gene for Ampicillin and Streptomycin resistance

4. Sites for many restriction enzymes

Restriction enzymes are synthesized by:

The process of separation and purification of expressed protein before marketing is called

(1) upstream processing

(2) downstream processing

(3) bioprocessing

(4) postproduction processing

What is the criterion for DNA fragments movement on agarose gel during gel electrophoresis ?

(1) The larger the fragment size, the farther it moves

(2) The smaller the fragment size, the farther it moves

(3) Positively charged fragments move to farther end

(4) Negatively charged fragments do not move

A gene, whose expression helps to identify transformed cells is known as

1. selectable marker                 

2. vector

3. plasmid                                 

4. structural gene
