Biotechnology Principles And Processes MCQ NEET Important Questions – Answer Keys

1) C. DNA ligase is genetic or DNA adhesive – a specific type of enzyme, a ligase, (EC 6.5.1.1) that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond.

2) A. A selectable marker is a gene introduced into a cell, especially a bacterium or to cells in culture, that confers a trait suitable for artificial selection.

3) C. Recombinant human insulin has been produced predominantly using E. coli for therapeutic use in human.

4) D. DNA fingerprinting is a method used to identify an individual from a sample of DNA by looking at unique patterns in their DNA. restriction fragment length polymorphism, or RFLP, is a technique
that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences. It refers to a difference between samples of homologous DNA molecules from differing locations of restriction enzyme sites

5) D. It acts in alkaline medium and binds to epithelial cells of midgut

6) A. Plasmids that can transfer foreign DNA into a living cell

7) B.

8) C. Restriction endonucleases : Chemical knife and ligases: Genetic gum

9) A. Genes that confer resistance to various antibiotics are used as selective markers in cloning vectors. Normally the genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloroamphenicol, tetracycline or kanamycin, etc., are considered useful selectable markers for E. coli.

10) A. The crude oil degradation –> Pseudomonas putida.

11) D. Bam HI, Eco RI & Hind III are restriction endonuclease; pBR322 is plasmid of E.coli

12) A. Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid based vectors are high efficiency vectors and were developed with the aim of introducing genes into plants.Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes crown gall disease
in plants in which cells grow in anundifferentiated and uncontrolled manner to form a tumor.

13) D. Retroviruses used as Vector

14) D. Plasmid used as vectors

15) C. rDNA technology is genetic engineering

16) A. Formation of phosphodiester bond between two DNA fragments

21) C. Kary Mullis

22) A. Cylindrical

23) A. A device in which substances are treated to stimulate biochemical transformation by living cells

24) C. It involves manipulation of two DNAs

26) D. All of these required for PCR

27) D. A phosphodiester bond within a specific sequence

28) B. Tetracycline resistance

29) C. It requires simultaneous plating on two plates having different antibiotics

30) A. The proteins involved in the replication of the plasmid

31) D. Both b and c

32) C. Chromogenic substrate gives blue colour ; The rDNA or recombinant DNA is inserted within the coding sequence of the enzyme galactosidase. This results in inactivation of the enzyme. In the presence of chromogenic substrate, blue coloured colonies are produced if the plasmid in the
bacteria doesn’t have the insert i.e. those are non recombinant.

33) D. Both a and c

34) A. Gel eletrophoresis

35) D. Purify enzymes

36) B. Transformation of plant cells
