A host cell normally does not take up a foreign DNA until it has been made competent to do so. This is because:
| 1. | DNA is a hydrophilic molecule |
| 2. | DNA is a very large molecule |
| 3. | there are no receptors for DNA on the cell membrane |
| 4. | DNA is an inert molecule |

How does the bacterium protects its own DNA from the action of restriction endonucleases present in its cytoplasm?
| 1. | its DNA lacks active sites for the restriction endonucleases |
| 2. | its DNA is protected within a nuclear envelope |
| 3. | it adds methyl groups to the active sites of restriction endonucleases on its DNA |
| 4. | the DNA gets heterochromatised to prevent the action of restriction enzymes |

| 3. | Prevention of the multiplication of bacteriophage by the host bacteria |
| 4. | All of the above |
