- Blue-white screening is performed to select .......... in vector-based molecular cloning.
- Match the following column I with column II.
- Plasmids are used in genetic engineering as they are
- This method of finding a gene is used when researchers know very little about the gene they are trying to find. This process results in a complete gene library: a collection of copies of DNA fragments that represent the entire genome of an organism.

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 km/h in the direction X to Y. She notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.

Cloning
The process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism is known as cloning. Cloning takes place all the time in nature—for instance when a cell replicates itself asexually without any genetic alteration or recombination. Prokaryotic organisms (organisms short of a cell nucleus) like as bacteria create genetically identical duplicates of themselves and make use of binary fission or budding. In eukaryotic organisms (organisms holding a cell nucleus) like humans, all the cells that go through mitosis, such as skin cells and cells lining the gastrointestinal tract, are clones; the only special cases are gametes (eggs and sperm), which go thruogh meiosis and genetic recombination.
