1.

Which of the followings is NOT a step that involved in gene cloning?

a)

Screen the bacterial cell that contain recombinant DNA.

b)

Insert DNA fragments into open plasmid and join them using DNA ligase.

c)

Cut the plasmid and target DNA with modifying enzyme.

d)

Isolate the plasmid from bacterial cell and target DNA from donor cell.

2.

What is the purpose of screening?

a)

to identify host cell containing plasmid

b)

to identify host cell that able to produce β-galactosidase

c)

to identify host cell containing the recombinant DNA

d)

to identify host cell with DNA

3.

Which of these pairs is INCORRECTLY matched?

a)

DNA ligase - mapping human chromosome

b)

Target DNA - gene of interest

c)

Taq polymerase - PCR

d)

Plasmid as vector - isolated from bacteria

4.

Marker gene that encodes for resistant to ampicillin is ampR. What will happen if the plasmid lack of this gene.

a)

Transformed bacteria can be separated from non transformed bacteria.

b)

Non-transformed bacteria cannot be separated from transformed bacteria.

c)

Transformed bacteria are able to survive in antibiotic ampicillin.

d)

Transformed bacteria are able to form white colony.

5.

What is the purpose of amplification?

a)

To screen for recombinant plasmid

b)

To join the recombinant DNA with the host cell

c)

To produce multiple copies of the desired gene

d)

To prevent the bacteria from reproducing

6.

During the amplification of target gene, an antibiotic medium used to

a)

select for plasmids containing particular DNA fragments

select for bacteria containing plasmids

7.

c)

Screening → Transformation and amplification → Cut → Insertion → Isolation

d)

Isolation → Cut → Insertion → Transformation and amplification → Screening

a)

lacY gene

b)

lacA gene

c)

lacZ gene

d)

Ampicilin resistance gene

be cut by the same restriction enzyme.

c)

originate from the same type of cell.

d)

have identical sequences.
