    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion In recombinant DNA technology, human genes are often transferred into bacteria (prokaryotes) or yeast (eukaryote). Reason Both bacteria and yeast multiply very fast to form huge population, which express the desired gene.

    A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion, then mark

    B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion, then mark

    C)  If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark

    D)  If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Recombinant DNA is the DNA whose nucleotide sequence has undergone alteration as a result of incorporation or exchange with another DNA strand. In recombinant DNA technology, human genes are often transferred into bacteria or yeast because both bacteria and yeast multiply very fast to form huge population, which express the desired gene. So, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
