MCQ
The term recombinant DNA refers to DNA
  • A
    with more than one recognition sites.
  • B
    of the host cell.
  • C
    with a piece of foreign DNA.
  • D
    with selectable marker.

Answer

C. with a piece of foreign DNA.
Explanation:
After cutting the source DNA and the vector DNA with a specific restriction enzyme, the cut out 'gene of interest' from the source DNA and the cut vector with space are mixed and ligase enzyme is added. This results in the formation of rDNA or hybrid PNA or chimeric DNA.

Given is the diagrammatic representation of impulse conduction through an axon (at points $A$ and $B$). View the diagram and arrange the steps of impulse conduction

$I.$ The polarity of the membrane at site $A$ is reversed and depolarized, i.e., the outer surface becomes negatively charged and the innerside becomes positively charged, generating nerve impulse

$II$. A stimulus causes disturbance to the membrane at site of $A$ nerve fibre resulting in leakage of $N a^{+i i}$ ions inside the nerve fibre

$III.$ On the outer surface, current flows from site $B$ to site $A$ to complete the circuit of current flow. Hence, the polarity at the site is reversed, and an action potential is generated at site $B.$ The impulse (action potential) generated at site $A$ arrives at site $B .$ The sequence is repeated along the length of the axon and consequently the impulse is conducted

$IV.$ Immediately ahead, the axon $(e \cdot g .$, site $B )$ membrane has a positive charge on the outer surface and a negative charge on its inner surface. As a result, a current flows on the inner surface from site $A$ to site $B$
