Read the following statements and choose the correct set of statements.
(I) Vectors, whose origin support high copy number, produces many copies of cloned DNA.
(II) Transformation is a process by which bacteriophage transfers a piece of DNA into a host bacterium.
(III) Hybridisation procedure allows us to isolate and introduce a desirable gene without introducing undesirable genes into the target organism.
(IV) More than one recognition sites within a vector will generate several fragments, which will complicate the gene cloning.
(V) During insertional inactivation method, non recombinant bacterial cells produce blue coloured colonies on agar medium.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Statements I, IV and V are correct. Rest of the statements are incorrect and can be corrected as
Transformation is a process in which a piece of DNA is directly introduced in a host bacterium. Whereas transduction is the process by which a virus transfers the genetic material from one bacterium to another.
The techniques of genetic engineering such as gene cloning and gene transfer allow us to isolate and introduce desirable genes without introducing undesirable genes into target organism.
