MCQ
In Recombinant $DNA$ technology antibiotics are used
  • A
    As selectable markers
  • To keep medium bacteria-free
  • C
    To detect alien DNA
  • D
    To impart disease-resistance to the host plant

Answer

Correct option: B.
To keep medium bacteria-free
b
The correct answer is option (2) because antibiotics are used in RDT to keep medium or culture bacteria-free.

Selectable marker helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants. They undergo insertional inactivation upon addition of alien DNA in their ORF.

Which one of the following statements are correct ?
(i) The process through which ATP is synthesized by cells is named as phosphorylation.
(ii) When the two photosystem work in a series, first PS-I and then PS-II, a process called non - cyclic photo phosphorylation occurs.
(iii) The membrane or lamellae of the grana have both PS-I and PS-II and the stroma lamellae membrane lack PSII as well as NADP reductase enzyme.
(iv) Cyclic photophosphorylation occur when light of wavelength beyond 700 nm are available for excitation.
(v) ATP synthesis is linked to development of a proton gradient across a membrane.
(vi) In respiration, protons accumulate in the intermembrane space of mitochondria when electrons move through the ETS.
(vii) The NADPH reductase enzyme is located on the stroma side of the membrane.
(viii) Within the chloroplast, protons in the lumen decreases in number, while in the stroma there is accumulation of protons.
(ix) The ATPase enzyme consists of two part: one called the $F _0$ is embedded in the membrane and forms a transmembrane channel that carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane. The other portion is called $F_1$ and protrudes on the inner surface of the thylakoid membrane.
