The restriction enzymes most commonly used in rDNA technology are
| 1. | Type 1 Restriction enzymes |
| 2. | Type II Restriction enzymes |
| 3. | Type III Restriction enzymes |
| 4. | Type IV Restriction enzymes |
Restriction enzymes do not act on the the DNA of the Host cell in which they are produced because
| 1. | Host DNA is packed into chromosomes |
| 2. | Restriction enzymes are ineffective on host DNA |
| 3. | Host DNA does not have the restriction site for the Restriction enzymes. |
| 4. | Restriction site of host DNA is methylated. |
A protein is not expressed properly in a diseased tissue. To find out whether the defect is at the level of translation or post translational modifications which techniques would you use ?
| 1. | Southern blotting and South Western blotting |
| 2. | Northern blotting and western blotting |
| 3. | Western blotting and Eastern blotting |
| 4. | Southern and Northern blotting |
Insertional inactivation of a gene helps in
| 1. | Identification of recombinant clones |
| 2. | Identification of deletion mutants |
| 3. | Identification of recombinant transformants |
| 4. | Elimination of suppression mutants |
Biolistic method makes use of microparticles coated with DNA bombarded at cells to be transformed. These particle are made up of
| 1. | Zinc or tungsten | 2. | Silicon or gold |
| 3. | Tungsten or gold | 4. | Selenium or Platinum |
Insertional inactivation of the lac Z gene forms-
| 1. | Blue recombinant colonies |
| 2. | Colourless recombinant colonies |
| 3. | Fluorescent green colonies |
| 4. | There is no relation between the lac Z gene and colour of the colony. |
A reporter enzyme used in biotechnology is-
| 1. | Green Fluorescent Protein |
| 2. | Luciferase |
| 3. | b Galactosidase |
| 4. | All of the above |
Downstream processing does not include
(1) Quality control
(2) Clinical trials
(3) Product purification
(4) Sampling from bioreactor
Which is not a component of the vector pBR322?

| 3. | Origin of replication |
| 4. | Cloning site for BamHI enzyme |
Which among the following is a cloning vector?
