      Question

      Arrange the steps of recombinant DNA technology in the

      correct order: (A) Ligation (B) Transformation (C) Restriction digestion (D) Selection of transformed cells
      A A β†’ B β†’ C β†’ D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B C β†’ A β†’ B β†’ D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C B β†’ A β†’ C β†’ D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D C β†’ B β†’ A β†’ D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The correct sequence is: Restriction digestion β†’ Ligation β†’ Transformation β†’ Selection of transformed cells. The correct sequence of steps in recombinant DNA technology is: (i) Restriction digestion (C) – The desired gene and vector DNA are cut using restriction enzymes. (ii) Ligation (A) – The gene of interest is inserted into the vector using DNA ligase, forming recombinant DNA. (iii) Transformation (B) – The recombinant DNA is introduced into a host cell (e.g., bacteria). (iv) Selection of transformed cells (D) – Cells containing recombinant DNA are identified and selected using markers (e.g., antibiotic resistance genes).
