A circular plasmid of 10000 bp is digested with two restriction enzymes A and B, to produce 3000 bp and 2000 bp bands when visualized on an agarose gel. When digested with one enzyme at a time, only one band is visible at 5000 bp. If the first site for enzyme A [A1] is present at the 100th base, the order in which the remaining sites [A2, B1 and B2] are present is:
| 1. | 5100, 3100, 8100 | 2. | 3100, 5100, 8100 |
| 3. | 8100, 5100, 3100 | 4. | 8100, 3100, 5100 |
To isolate DNA in pure form from a bacterial cell, it should initially be treated with:

Consider the two statements:
| I: | It is beneficial to have a multiple cloning site (MCS) within the lac Z gene of the plasmid of E.coli. |
| II: | This allows the researcher to distinguish between recombinant and non-recombinant vectors if X-gal is added to the medium. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I.
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct but II is incorrect.
4. Both I and II are incorrect.
