Given below are two statements: I: polymerase chain reaction gene is used as a selectable marker to check transformation II: the ampicillin resistant gene is used as a selectable marker to check transformation In the light of above statement, choose the correct option: (a) Both statement are correct but II is not the correct explanation of I (b) Statement I is correct but II is incorrect (c) Statement I is incorrect but II is correct (d) Both statements are correct & II is the correct explanation of I
Option D.Both statements are correct but the given reason is not the correct explanation. The polymerase chain reaction is used in DNA amplification. Ampicillin resistance gene is a selectable marker that helps to check transformation by the selection of transformants.
