Question
Answer the following questions:
Explain how recombinants and non-recombinants are differentiated on the basis of colour production in the presence of a chromogenic substrate. Name that procedure.
✓

Answer

The procedure is called insertional inactivation.
In this method recombinants and non-recombinants are differentiated on the basis of the ability to produce colour in the presence of a chromosomic substrate. In this method, a rDNA is inserted in an enzyme- $\beta-$galactosidase which leads to inactivation of the enzyme which does not produce colour due to insertion.
