  1. Differentiate between repetitive and satellite DNA.
  2. How can satellite DNA be isolated? Explain.
  3. List two forensic application of this technology.

Answer

  1.  

  1. Satellite DNA is separated from the genomic DNA. by density gradient centrifugation; the satellite DNA forms smaller peaks, while the genomic DNA forms a major peak.
  2.  
  1. They form very useful tools in identification of criminals.
  2. It is the basis of paternity testing, in case of disputes.

Crown gall is a neoplastic disease of most dicotyledonous plants and is caused by the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. A large extra chromosomal plasmid in these bacteria was found to be responsible for this disease. The plasmid is known as Ti plasmid. Bacteria free crown gall cells can be cultured in the absence of phytohormones. Ti plasmid is widely used in genetic engineering to deliver the desirable genes. The part of Ti plasmid transferred into plant cell DNA is called T-DNA. T-DNA with desired DNA segment is inserted into the chromosome of the host plant where it produces copies of itself.

  1. Which of the following is the full full of T-DNA?
  1. Transfer DNA.
  2. Tumour inducing DNA.
  3. Transgenic DNA.
  4. None of these.
  1. Ti plasmid cannot infect and develop crown gall in,
  1. Tomato.
  2. Maize.
  3. Soybean.
  4. sunflower.
  1. While making transgenic plant, T-DNA is inserted into the host cell, it is then:
  1. Integrated into the target host genome.
  2. Lie independent of the host genome.
  3. Rupture the host cell wall.
  4. Produce oncogenic factors in the host.
  1. Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer in plants:
  1. Allows relatively large segment of DNA.
  2. Transfer of DNA with defined ends and minimal rearrangement.
  3. High quality and fertility in transgenic plants.
  4. All of these.
  1. Assertion: In Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer in plants, transgenic plants do not develop tumors.

Reason: In T-DNA tumor producing genes are deleted during the process of gene transfer.

  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. Both assertion and reason are false.
