What limitation of traditional hybridization used for plant and animal breeding has been overcome by

the use of rDNA techniques?

1. High cost

2. Insertion of undesirable genes

3. Complexity of the procedure

4. Antigenicity of the product

What is true A,B and C in the given diagrammatic representation of rDNA technology ?

I. At A same restriction enzyme is used to cut both foreign and vector DNA

II. The enzyme used at B is DNA ligase

III. Step C can be called as transformation

1. I and II only

2. I and III only

3. II and III only

4. I,II and III

The cutting of DNA at specific locations became possible with the discovery of 

(1) restriction enzymes

(2) probes

(3) selectable markets

(4) ligases

Introduction of  foreign genes for improving genotype is

1. biotechnology 

2. vernalization

3. tissue culture

4. genetic engineering

In 1960’s two enzymes were discovered in bacteria that were responsible for providing immunity against bacteriophages. One was Restriction Endonuclease and the other was

1. Methylase

2. Exonuclease

3. Aminotransferase

4. Terminal Transferase
