In transgenics, alterations in the sequence of uncleotide in genes are due to
P. Substitution
Q. Deletion
R. Insertion
S. Rearrangement
-
- P and Q
- P, Q and R
- Q and R
- R and S
Correct Option: B
Transgenics is based on insertion of foreign genes from a different species, or deletion of existing nucleotides from the gene sequence in normal host cells. Also substitution of bases by transition( Pu by Pu/ Py by Py) or transversion( Pu replaced by Py of vice-versa). Usually, the process of random gene rearrangement is not included in transgenic experiments, because it is a natural process not yielding desired transgenic traits. Thus, in actual practice, insertion, deletion and/or substitution is used for yielding transgenics.
