RECOMBINANT DNA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement is TRUE about host cell?
A
Able to amplify the gene product of the recombinant DNA.
B
Able to maintain the structure of the recombinant DNA from one generation to another.
C
Able to accept the recombinant DNA through the process transduction.
D
Able to accept foreign DNA in multiple cloning site (MCS).
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Host organism – into which the recombinant DNA is introduced. The host is the ultimate tool of recombinant DNA technology which takes in the vector engineered with the desired DNA with the help of the enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Recombinant DNA technology is the joining together of DNA molecules from two different species. The recombined DNA molecule is inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture, and industry.

Detailed explanation-3: -They shorten the DNA by one nucleotide at a time, they do not digest it into fragments. Thus the correct answer is option D.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following statements about recombinant DNA technology is FALSE? It has limited application because genes of interest cannot be moved from one type of cell to another. This statement is FALSE. Recombinant DNA technology is commonly used to move DNA from one type of cell to another.
