Assertion : In recombinant DNA technology, human genes are often transferred into bacteria (prokaryotes) or yeast (eukaryote).Reason : Both bacteria and yeast multiply very fast to form huge populations which express the desired gene.
- A(a) Both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
- B(b) Both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
- C(c) Assertion is true statement but Reason is false
- D(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false statements
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
In recombinant technology, organisms like (bacteria) and yeast are widely used as hosts for replication and amplification because they multiply rapidly. This allows for the production of large quantities of the desired protein encoded by the transferred gene. Both statements are true and the reason correctly explains why these specific hosts are chosen.
