Q. A gene that does not contain introns has an Eco RI site just down stream of the translational termination codon in the 3' untranslated region. The size of the gene is 4 Kbp. The length of 3' UTR is 2 Kbp, the 5' UTR is 1 Kbp and that the open reading frame is 1kbp. Upon probing a southern blot of an Eco RI digested genomic DNA with the radioactively labelled fragment containing only the open reading frame, the size of the band detected by hybridization would be

(A) 1 Kbp
(B) > 2 Kbp
(C) 0.5 Kbp
(D) 1.5 Kbp

Q. Which of the following statements gives a correct explanation for the use of vectors containing drug resistance genes in the cloning of recombinant DNA (cDNA) molecules?

(A) The products of the drug resistance genes protect the cDNA from destruction by the host cells
(B) The drug resistance genes provide additional base sequences that enable the vector to accommodate larger inserts of cDNA
(C) Entry of the vector containing the cDNA and the drug resistance genes into the host cell renders the latter identifiable as it is now resistant to antibiotic drugs
(D) The cloned cDNA imparts drug resistance upon any cellular system with which it is used

(B) Extension of a synthetic primer and reliable termination of DNA repair synthesis
(C) The correlation of restriction sites with the end-label of the DNA
(D) The ability to 'sequence' both strands of the DNA duplex simultaneously
