Polymerase chain reaction is most useful in ______.
Which of the following device is required for PCR?
Which of the following DNA sequence is recognised and cut by EcoR I?
The rDNA technology has provided a method to control the nematode parasite Meloidogyne incognita. Explain the principle involved in this technique.
Name a recombinant vaccine that is currently being used in vaccination programme.
A recombinant DNA molecule was created by ligating a gene to a plasmid vector. By mistake, an exonuclease was added to the tube containing the recombinant DNA. How does this affect the next step in the experiment i.e. bacterial transformation?
| Oil spill is a major environmental issue. It has been found that different strains of Pseudomonas bacteria have genes to break down the four major groups of hydrocarbons in oil. Trials are underway to use different biotechnological tools to incorporate these genes and create a genetically engineered strain of Pseudomonas - a ‘super-bug’, to break down the four major groups of hydrocarbons in oil. Such bacteria might be sprayed onto surfaces polluted with oil to clean thin films of oil. |
(a) List two advantages of using bacteria for such biotechnological studies?
(b) For amplification of the gene of interest PCR was carried out. The PCR was run with the help of polymerase which was functional only at a very low temperature. How will this impact the efficiency of the PCR? Justify.
(c) If such bacteria are sprayed on water bodies with oil spills, how will this have a positive or negative effect on the environment? Discuss.
Name the enzyme responsible for the transcription of genetic code to produce mRNA.
David is a molecular biologist. He uses a technique to know the amino acids occupy the first and the last positions in the Chain - A and Chain - B of insulin. Name the scientist whose contribution made it possible for David to use this technique.
