• D. (i) Size, sieving effect (ii) agarose, sea weeds (iii) recombinant DNA, cloning vector (iv) Taq polymerase (v) restriction site, antibiotic resistance genes

Answer 1

The correct option is A (i) Agarose, seaweeds (ii) recombinant DNA, cloning vector (iii) restriction site, antibiotic resistance genes (iv) Taq polymerase, size(v) sieving effect.

Agarose is a natural polymer extracted from sea weeds. The DNA fragments purified by gel electrophoresis are used in constructing recombinant DNA by joining them with the cloning vector. The ligation of alien DNA is carried out at a restriction site present in one of the two antibiotic resistance genes in a plasmid vector. Taq polymerase enzyme remains active during the high temperature-induced denaturation of dsDNA. DNA fragments are resolved according to their size through a sieving effect in agarose gel electrophoresis.

So, the correct option is 'Option A'.
