If the required gene has been isolated by shotgun approach, care must be taken to:

1.  cut the plasmid with a different restriction enzyme than that used to obtain the donor gene
2.  cut the plasmid with the same restriction enzyme that was used to obtain the donor gene
3.  avoid cutting the plasmid
4.  cut the plasmid with two different restriction enzymes

The colonies of recombinant bacteria appear white because of:

1. Insertional inactivation of alpha-galactosidase in non-recombinant bacteria
2. Insertional inactivation of beta-galactosidase in recombinant bacteria
3. Inactivation of glycosidase enzyme in recombinant bacteria
4. Non-recombinant bacteria containing beta-galactosidase

The figure below shows the structure of a plasmid.
       
A foreign DNA was ligated at BamH1. The transformants were then grown in a medium containing antibiotics tetracycline and ampicillin.
Choose the correct observation for the growth of bacterial colonies from the given table:
Medium with Tetracycline Medium with Ampicillin
1. Growth No growth
2. No growth Growth
3. No growth No growth
4. Growth Growth
