All of the above

Explanation / Answer

15) d- Yeast artificial chromosomes hold the largest DNA, i.e upto 1000kb.

16) b- Ti plamid of agrobacterium tumefaciens, is the best vector to introduce foreign DNA into plant genome. This is because, agrobacterium has a very well ability of transferring DNA from itself to plants.

17) b- Ligases, because these arethe enzymes that catalyze the joining of two molecules, accompanied by hydrolysis. eg- DNA ligase that joins the DNA during replication. Hence they are also called as stitchers or glue.

18) a- Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of double stranded eukaryotic cDNA from the template RNA, in the process of cloning of eukaryotic DNA into prokaryotic cells.

19) e- dexyrobinucleotide. PCR i.e polymerase chain reaction requires, DNA template, DNA primers, DNA polymerase,deoxynucleoside triphosphates, a buffer solution, bivalent and monovalent cations. The DNA ligase is used in certain PCR techniques to produce circular plasmids.

21) d- A cloning vector has an origin of replication, a selectabel marker and also cloning sites which could be multicloning sites or polylinker containing many unique restriction sites.
