Q. PCR using the mutagenic primer and one of the flanking primers is used to carry out amplification and generates a product corresponding to the part of the gene. It is called as megaprimer.

View solution

Q. Sometimes mutagenesis is carried out with the help of primers. Choose the correct statement with respect to it.

View solution

Q. If PCR is used to introduce random mutations rather than specific mutations, it is called as ___________

View solution

Q. For the selection of the molecules having mutated sequence, which of the statement is true?

View solution

Q. Choose the incorrect statement for the methodology of selection of molecules with mutant sequences.

View solution

Q. Once second strand synthesis is carried out, it is introduced into the host. Host is having which mutation?

View solution

Q. Replication by first strand leads to the formation of mutated molecules and functional antibiotic resistant gene.

Q. What is the function of ung gene?

View solution

Q. DpnI cuts ________ strands.

View solution

Q. The minor change in amino acid sequence can lead to _______ effect on three dimensional structure and there _____ in the primary sequence.

View solution

Q. It is often useful to inactivate endogenous genes in an organism. It might be helpful in finding out _________ role of the wild type gene.

View solution

Q. The inactivation of endogenous genes may also be helpful in directing the expression of the mutated gene in the absence of background expression of wild type gene.

View solution

Q. How can mutant strains be produced?

View solution

Q. The principle of gene disruption is ________ to replace the endogenous chromosomal copy of a gene with __________

View solution

Q. The gene to be disrupted is cloned and a selectable marker is inserted. What should be the effect of selectable marker?

View solution

Q. The disrupted gene is excised from the vector and is inserted into the target organism. The excised gene should be in which form?

View solution

Q. Stable acquisition of the marker can take place only if a double crossover over the flanking sequence and their chromosomal counterparts causes the marker’s integration into the chromosome.

View solution

Q. If ______ gene is there, the double crossover may leave ________ in the chromosome.

View solution

Q. If the target organism contains more than one copy of the gene, what is the effect on these copies?
