4. Which of the following is the correct recognition sequence of restriction enzyme hind III.
a. 5’ —A-A-G-C-T-T—3’ 3’ –T-T-C-G-A-A— 5’
b. 5’ —G-A-A-T-T-C—3’ 3’ —C-T-T-A-A-G— 5’
c. 5’ —C-G-A-T-T-C—3’ 3’ —G-C-T-A-A-G— 5’

5. Recombinant protein ……………… is used to dissolve blood clots present in the body.
a. insulin
b. tissue plasminogen activator
c. relaxin
d. erythropoietin
Answer : B
Explanation : Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA or PLAT) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. It is a serine protease (EC 3.4. … tPA can be manufactured using recombinant biotechnology techniques; tPA produced by such means are referred to as recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA).
6. Recognition sequence of restriction enzymes are generally …………… nucleotide long.
a. 2 to 4
b. 4 to 8
c. 8 to 10
d. 14 to 18
Answer : B
Restriction endonucleases recognise specific palindromic sequences of 4–8 nucleotides in length. Short recognition sequences are likely to be more frequent in a genome than longer recognition sequences, which is why more fragments of lower molecular size are produced.
