Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YACs) is a human engineered DNA molecule derived from the yeast. YACs are often used in connection with mapping and sequencing of genomes. Segments of an organism's DNA, upto one million base pairs in length, can be inserted into YACs. The YACs are then taken up by yeast cells. As the yeast cell grow and divide, they amplify the YAC DNA, which can be isolated and used for DNA mapping and sequencing.
