Question

Given below are two statements :
one is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as
Reason (R).
Assertion (A) :
E.coli is widely used as a host in RDT.
Reason (R) :
E.coli grows rapidly and its genetics are well understoo
D.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Remember why E.coli is preferred in RDT:
• Rapid growth
• Easy genetic manipulation
• Availability of plasmids
• Cost-effective cultivation \[ \textit{E.coli} = \text{Most widely used bacterial host in molecular cloning} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
