9.Biotechnology Principals and Process
easy
In Recombinant $DNA$ technology antibiotics are used
A
As selectable markers
B
To keep medium bacteria-free
C
To detect alien DNA
D
To impart disease-resistance to the host plant
(NEET-2020)
Solution
The correct answer is option (2) because antibiotics are used in RDT to keep medium or culture bacteria-free.
Selectable marker helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and selectively permitting the growth of the transformants. They undergo insertional inactivation upon addition of alien DNA in their ORF.
