Short Answer Type Questions

  1. What is meant by gene cloning?
  2. Both a wine maker and a molecular biologist who had developed a recombinant vaccine claim to be biotechnologists. Who in your opinion is correct?
  3. A recombinant DNA molecule was created by ligating a gene to a plasmid vector. By mistake, an exonuclease was added to the tube containing the recombinant DNA. How does this affect the next step in the experiment i.e. bacterial transformation?

  2. Describe the role of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in transforming a plant cell.
