Q. Read the following statements and select the incorrect ones.
(i) When the transformed cells on agar plates containing ampicillin are spread, both transformed and untransformed cells will grow.
(ii) Restriction enzymes are used in isolation and separation of $DNA$ from other macromolecules.
(iii) Downstream processing is one of the steps of $rDNA$ technology.
(iv) Disarmed pathogen vectors are also used in transfer of $rDNA$ into the host.

Biotechnology : Principles and Processes

Solution:

Restriction enzymes are used to cut $DNA$ at specific sites. When the transformed cells on agar plates containing ampicillin are spread, only transformants will grow, untransformed recipient cells will die.
