[2014]
(a) PCR and RAPD
(b) Northern blotting
(c) Electrophoresis and HPLC
(d) Microscopy
Show Answer
Answer : a
Hints & Solutions
(a) Now a days PCR and RAPD techniques are used for the characterisation of in vitro clonal propagation in plants. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a PCR based technique for identifying genetic variation. It involves the use of a single arbitrary primer in a PCR reaction, resulting in the amplification of many discrete DNA products.
