A gene carried, by recombinant DNA is cloned when
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Its host bacterium divides by binary fission
In a conventional molecular cloning experiment, the DNA to be cloned is obtained from an organism of interest, then treated with enzymes in the test tube to generate smaller DNA fragments. Subsequently, these fragments are then combined with vector DNA to generate recombinant DNA molecules. The recombinant DNA is then introduced into a host organism (typically an easy-to-grow, benign, laboratory strain of E. coli bacteria). Host organism i.e.e bacteria divides by binary fission. This will generate a population of organisms in which recombinant DNA molecules are replicated along with the host DNA. So, the correct option is 'Its host bacterium divides by binary fission'.
