The technique of creating a gene library by inserting DNA fragments into plasmid vectors and introducing into bacteria is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The technique of creating a gene library by inserting DNA fragments into plasmid vectors and introducing into bacteria is:
A. DNA sequencing
B. PCR
C. Cloning
D. Microarray
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Molecular cloning involves inserting a DNA fragment into a vector (e.g., plasmid), which is then taken up by host cells (e.g., E. coli). As the bacteria replicate, they produce many copies of the inserted DNA, creating a gene library. PCR amplifies without vectors, sequencing reads bases, microarrays analyze expression.

Question #1
In plant physiology, the 'Vernalization' refers to the induction of flowering by:
A. Exposure to a prolonged period of low temperature
B. Exposure to continuous darkness
C. Exposure to continuous light
D. Exposure to high temperatures

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Vernalization is the process by which many plants, particularly biennials and winter annuals (like winter wheat, cabbage, and carrots), require exposure to a prolonged period of low temperature (cold treatment) before they can initiate flowering. This prevents the plant from flowering in the autumn, ensuring it survives the winter and flowers in the spring or summer. The cold stimulus is perceived by the apical meristem or the germinating seed.

Question #3
The enzyme that breaks down starch into sugar in the mouth is:
A. Amylase
B. Pepsin
C. Trypsin
D. Lipase

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Salivary amylase (ptyalin) initiates starch digestion in the mouth, hydrolyzing starch to maltose. Pepsin digests proteins, lipase fats.
