Palindromic DNA is a base sequence of DNA, which reads the same forward or backward. It has similar sequence in both the strands. Different types of palindromic sequences are recognised by restriction endonucleases.
Given below is a sample of portion of DNA strand giving the base sequence on the opposite strands. What is so, special shown in it? 5^prime _GAATTC…

The blue and white selectable markers have been developed which differentiate recombinant colonies from non-recombinant colonies on the basis of their ability to produce colour in the presence of a chromogenic substrate. Given below are two statements about this method: Statement I : The blue coloured colonies have DNA insert in the plasmid and they are identified as recombinant colonies. Statement II : The colonies without blue colour have DNA insert in the plasmid and are identified as recombinant colonies. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
