Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Recognition site should be preferably single and responsive to commonly used restriction enzymes so it can be easily fragmented out. It should be single because we only want a cut at the required gene.
In pBR322 alien DNA is ligated in the area of Bam - HI site of tetracycline resistance gene. Hence there is only one recognition site where the cut is made.
So the correct answer is ' Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explaination for the Assertion'.
