6 0

Answer:

The small piece of cartilage is called the xiphoid process.

Explanation:

The sternum, also known as the breast bone, is a flat bone situated at the central aspect of the anterior part of the chest (thorax). Several ribs attach themselves to the sternum through cartilage. The sternum forms the anterior border of the thorax alongside the anterior aspect of the ribs.

The sternum is divided into three parts namely, the manubrium, body and xiphoid process. Ribs are attached to both the manubrium and body. The xiphoid process which is the most distal part of the sternum has no rib attachment.

The cloning vector could be taken from different organisms such as plasmid of a bacterium, or DNA from a virus. A cloning vector must possess some characteristics -  

The cloning vector must be self-replicating ability in the host cells, it should be small in size with restriction site for the restriction endonuclease enzymes in it. The replication character of the vector should not interfere with the internalized DNA fragment. The presence of marker genes in the vector is also a property that is helpful in identifying of recombinant cells.
