Vedclass · Answer

(A) The selection of recombinant cells using antibiotic resistance genes (insertional inactivation) involves identifying cells that have lost their resistance to a specific antibiotic due to the insertion of foreign $DNA$.This process is considered cumbersome because it requires the replica plating technique,where the same set of colonies must be transferred onto two different plates: one containing the antibiotic for which the gene was inactivated and another containing a different antibiotic (or no antibiotic) to ensure the survival of the colonies.Since both the Assertion and the Reason are scientifically accurate and the Reason correctly explains why the procedure is considered cumbersome,the correct option is $A$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Bioreactor	$(i)$ Separation of $DNA$ fragments
$(b)$ Electrophoresis	$(ii)$ Production of large quantities of products
$(c)$ $PCR$	$(iii)$ Detection of pathogen, based on antigen-antibody reaction
$(d)$ $ELISA$	$(iv)$ Amplification of nucleic acids

$A$: Selection of recombinants due to inactivation of antibiotics is a cumbersome procedure.
$R$: It requires simultaneous plating on two plates having different antibiotics.
