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?

View solution

Q. If methods are based on cellular processes that lead to inactivation of gene expression by affecting the RNA, then it is called as ___________

View solution

Q. Choose the incorrect statement for the method based on antisense RNA.

View solution

Q. The method of post transcriptional gene silencing is particularly useful in ___________

View solution

Q. Down regulation of expression of endogenous genes by transformation with constructs that would generate sense RNA, rather than anti-sense RNA is known as ___________

View solution

Q. In some organisms, presence of double stranded RNAs leads to breakdown of corresponding single stranded mRNA.

View solution

Q. Double stranded RNA is cleaved by a nuclease called as Dicer and small fragments are generated known as ___________

View solution
