  1. Which of the following are commonly used as reporter genes?
    P. NPTgene
    Q. Luciferase gene
    R. CFTR gene
    S. GFPgene
    1. Q, S
    2. R,S
    3. P, R
    4. P, Q
Correct Option: A

Commonly used reporter genes that induce visually identifiable characteristics usually involve fluorescent and luminescent proteins. Examples include the gene that encodes jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP),
which causes cells that express it to glow green under blue light, the enzyme luciferase, which catalyzes a reaction with luciferin to produce light, and the red fluorescent protein from the gene dsRed.
