Which of the following is not a desirable feature of a cloning vector?

Presence of two or more recognition sites

Presence of single restriction enzyme site

Presence of origin of replication

Given below are two statements: Statement I : Restriction endonucleases recognise specific sequence to cut DNA known as palindromic nucleotide sequence. Statement II : Restriction endonucleases cut the DNA strand a little away from the centre of the palindromic site. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Which one of the following statement is not true regarding gel electrophoresis technique?

The presence of chromogenic substrate gives blue coloured DNA bands on the gel.

The separated DNA fragments are stained by using ethidium bromide.

Bright orange coloured bands of DNA can be observed in the gel when exposed to UV light.

The process of extraction of separated DNA strands from gel is called elution.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Polymerase chain reaction is used in DNA amplification. Reason (R): The ampicillin-resistant gene is used as a selectable marker to check the transformation. In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

(A) is correct but (R) is not correct

(A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
