Question

Select the incorrect statement., Insertional inactivation technique helps in identification of the recombinant transformants with non-transformants by forming colourless colonies., Insertional inactivation of β - galactosidase leads to the formation of colourless colonies., Insertional inactivation of β - galactosidase leads to the formation of blue color colonies., In insertional inactivation, the rDNA is inserted within the coding sequence of an enzyme β - galactosidase.

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Selection of recombinants due to inactivation of antibiotics is a cumbersome procedure. Therefore, alternative selectable markers have been developed, which differentiate recombinants from non-recombinants on the basis of their ability to produce colour. A recombinant DNA is inserted within the coding sequence of enzyme β - galactosidase. This results in insertational inactivation, and the colonies do not produces any colour.
