Write the order of Sequence in which these proteins are isolated in a gel. (Analysis) | [1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (v) | Give a reason for each of the following: (Understanding) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| (a) | A good vector used in rDNA technology must have at least one selectable marker. | [1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (b) | Continuous culture is preferred over batch culture. | [1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| (a) | Write the base sequences of its complementary strand. (Analysis) | [1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (b) | Explain the base complementarity rule. (Recall) | [1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (vii) | Observe the following figure and answer the questions that follow: Figure 1
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
| (a) | Identify Figure 1. Where is this structure found? (Recall) | [1] | |
| (b) | What is its importance for a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic organism? (Understanding) | [1] | |
| (viii) | Answer the following questions. | ||
| (a) | Expand EMBL. (Recall) | [1] | |
| (b) | What is the variation in length of DNA fragments due to inherited differences in highly repetitive DNA, known as? (Understanding) | [1] | |
| (ix) | Given below are two statements marked Assertion and Reason. Read the two statements carefully and choose the correct option. Assertion: Trp operon is an inducible operon. Reason: Tryptophan inhibits the process of formation of Lactose in the Trp operon. (Understanding) | [1] | |
| (a) | Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for assertion. | ||
| (b) | Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for assertion. | ||
| (c) | Assertion is true and Reason is false. | ||
| (d) | Both Assertion and Reason are false. | ||
| (x) | Given below are two statements marked Assertion and Reason. Read the two statements carefully and choose the correct option. Assertion: In gel electrophoresis, molecules get separated according to their charge-to-mass ratio. Reason: The more the charge on the molecule, the more is its mass. (Analysis) | [1] | |
| (a) | Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. | ||
| (b) | Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. | ||
| (c) | Assertion is true and Reason is false. | ||
