In which of the following, determination of order of bases in a DNA molecule takes place
Gene probing
Gene splicing
Gene mapping
Gene sequencing
Flavr savr variety of tomato is a
mutated form
somaclonal variety
transgenic crop
high yielding variety
Which one of the following bacteria has found extensive use in genetic engineering work in plants?
Bacillus coagulens
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Bacillus subtilis
E. coli
B.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen that causes a disease of plants called crown gall disease. The tumour like gall grows when A. tumefaciens inserts a plasmid (Ti plasmid), containing bacterial genetic information into the plant's chromosomal DNA. Therefore, this bacteria has been extensively used as a vector for gene transfer to plant cells.
Vaccines prepared by genetic engineering are safe to man because they are
least active form of virus
active form of virus
coat protein formed as antibody
All of the above
