Answer to: If 'E' represents energy, 'G' represents gravitational constant, 'M' represents mass & 'L' represents angular momentum; find [G^-2M^2E^-3L^3]

Correct answer: (a) [M4L-6T7] Explanation: Dimensional formulae for given quantities G[M-1L3T-2] E [ML2T-2] M[M] L[ML2T-1] ∴ [G-2M2E-3L3...

Answer to: In an L R circuit at steady state energy stored in inductor is 64 J and power consumed by circuit is 640 J. Find time constant for this LR circuit.

Correct answer: (a) 0.2 Explanation: In steady state, energy stored in inductor = 64J .......(1) Power consumed in steady state, I2R = 640J...

Answer to: How can bacterial DNA be released from the bacterial cell for biotechnology experiments?

The bacterial cell has to be treated with lysozyme, to digest the cell wall to release DNA.

Answer to: Why is the enzyme cellulase needed for isolating genetic material from plant cells and not from animal cells?

Cellulase is used to digest the cell wall (cellulose) of plant cells; animal cells have no cell wall and hence, it is not needed.

Answer to: How does an alien DNA gain entry into a plant cell by ‘biolistic’ method?

The cells are bombarded with high velocity micro-particles of gold or tungsten, coated with the alien DNA.

Answer to: How can retroviruses be used efficiently in biotechnology experiments in spite of them being disease causing?

Retroviruses are disarmed (diseases-causing gene is removed/inactivated) and used as vectors to deliver the recombinant/alien DNA into animal cells.

Answer to: Biotechnologists refer to Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a natural genetic engineer of plants. Give reasons to support the statement.

When it infects a plant cell, it delivers a part of its DNA, called ‘T-DNA’ (or Tumour- inducing (Ti) plasmid) into the plant cell and transforms it i...

Answer to: A plasmid without a selectable marker was chosen as vector for cloning a gene. How does this affect the experiment?

In the absence of a selectable marker, it will not be possible to identify the recombinants from the non-recombinants.

Answer to: Why are antibiotic-resistance genes used as markers in E.coli?

It is because the normal E. coli cells do not have resistance to any such antibiotics.

Answer to: Why is it essential to have a ‘selectable marker’ in a cloning vector?

It helps in identifying the recombinants from the non-recombinants.
