Q. I. $Ori$ also controls the copy numbers of the linked DNA II. If a foreign DNA ligates at the $Bam$ HI site of tetracycline resistance gene in the vector pBR322, the recombinant plasmid loses the tetracycline resistance due to insertion of foreign DNA Choose regarding the above statements
A) I is true, II is false
B) II is true, I is false
C) Both are true
D) Both are false
Explanation
Both are true, Ori also controls the copy numbers of the linked DNA If a foreign DNA ligates at the Bam HI site tetracycline resistance gene in the vector pBR322, the recombinant plasmid loses the tetracycline
