Biotechnology Principles and Processes question

2022 · Q17

NEETBiologyBiotechnology Principles and ProcessesMCQ+4 / −1

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 transformation.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A
    Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. B
    Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Correct answer: B

Both the statements are correct but the given reason is not the correct explanation. Polymerase chain reaction is used in DNA amplification.

Ampicillin resistance gene is a selectable marker that helps to check transformation by selection of transformants.
