Recombinant DNA - Medical Science

Q1:

Electroporation is

A the process of separating charged molecules through a gel maintained in an electric field

B the process of combining foreign DNA to an electrically charged vector molecule

C the application of high voltage pulses

D the process of multiplication of the cells

ANS:C - the application of high voltage pulses

Option A) is the definition of electrophoresis.

Option B) is incorrect because the vector molecule cannot be charged in electroporation.

Option D) is the basic definition of cell division so the answer is definitely option C) because electroporation is applying a high voltage pulse to create a temporary pore in the plasma membrane of the cell for introducing the foreign DNA.
