In a plasmid such as pBR322:
I: Ori controls the copy number of DNA per cell
II: Multiple cloning sites are recognition sequences of common restriction enzymes
III: Genes for antibiotic resistance are used as selectable markers
 
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II, and III are correct

Consider the given two statements:
I. It is beneficial to have a multiple cloning site (MCS) within the lac Z gene.
II. When foreign DNA interrupts the lac Z gene, no b-galactosidase can be formed, and X-Gal remains colourless which allows the researcher to distinguish between recombinant and unrecombinant vectors.
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion(A): Any piece of DNA when linked to Ori sequence of a suitable
vector can be made to replicate within the host cells.
Reason (R): Ori sequence is responsible for controlling the copy number of the linked DNA.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True; (R) is False

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): One antibiotic resistance gene of vector pBR322 helps in selecting the transformants and the other one in selecting recombinants.
Reason (R): The non-recombinants can grow on both antibiotic-rich media while the recombinants grow only on single medium due to insertional inactivation.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.
