Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Plasmid pBR322 has a variety of unique restriction sites for restriction endonucleases. Two unique sites, Pst I andPvu /are located within the amp' gene and Bamrll, Sal I etc. are within tet1 gene. The presence of restriction sites within the marker tef and amp' permits an easy selection for cell transformed with the recombinant pBR322. Insertion of the DNA fragment into the plasmid using enzyme Pst I and Pvu I places the DNA insert within the gene amp' and make it non functional.
